Typhon Typhon V3 w/ MX28 Badlands on F11Wheels

[pasipple$]

I posted this in the Wheels and Tire thread but no responses...

Pretty new to RC and definitely new to Arrma.

Just purchased a set of MX28 Badlands tires mounted on F11 17mm rims directly from Pro-Line. Bought this setup after seeing a YouTube video by Aussie RC Playground.

However, the tires appear too big for the Typhon. The inside of the tire sidewall rubs against the top of the rear hubs.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks...

You need hub extensions from team associated.

Ah...thanks for that info Piece. Appreciate it...

Here's what it looks like on mine, and someone else's complete car:

Some details: the pins don't fit, you need to use the stock ones. There's a bit of slop, I use 8X12X0.6MM shims but other with the same mod don't and don't have problems. I did the washer mod (see threads below) just in case.

Alternative solution is to change the arms for Outcast or Kraton ones I think. Some people have done this. It's a bit cleaner but more involved.

You can get the extra width for clearance with V2 Kraton hex's, axel's, and hubs, but yes... more involved and pricier no doubt than getting hex adapters.

Thanks for your all of your replies Piece. Very helpful.

I used the Associated extenders on my Senton and drilled the axle to accommodate the bigger Associated pin. I'm running the MX28's on the F11's too. It really turns that stock beast of a truck in to a monster.

Let's see some pics of that setup. Sounds sweet as poop

Another advantage of going wide is putting on "gocart" wheels for street drifting. Just won't flip...Lol. This is my Truggified Typhon in speed mode.

Looks AWESOME bud!!! Which springs are you running?

Tekno orange on all four corners but I can’t remember the length

If I want to 'truggify' on a v3 typhon, should I use v3 kraton hexes, axles, and hubs?

You can yes. Or the other option is the team associated extended wheel hubs mentioned above. That’s what I used on my silver V1 Typhon

 

[B0III]

Thanks!

Do you know the part #'s for the v3 kraton arms, hexes, axles? because I can't seem to find part #'s for the v3 kraton

Also, did you run into any mechanical problems with the hex extenders?

 

[Rademf]

Here’s the associated extended hubs and the axle pin sizes are different. You can use the factory Arrma axel pins or drill out the axles to accept the bigger associated pins. Other than that no issues

 

[B0III]

Ok thanks! are the v2 and v3 kraton axles and hexes and hubs the same?

 

[Rademf]

Factory vs extended hubs and proline 2.8 badlands on F11 wheels just the width difference.

Ok thanks! are the v2 and v3 kraton axles and hexes and hubs the same?

As far as I know yes they are I do not believe there was a design change in that area.
