Ok thanks! are the v2 and v3 kraton axles and hexes and hubs the same?
I run 16-18 tooth 6s with either taped MX28s or Trenchers. They will balloon crazy if not strapped. Just watch your temps to play it safe.I ordered my Typhon today. Will no doubt trugify immediately What pinion are you guys running with the trenchers? What is best over all pinion. I want speed but bash speed. Not up and down the street speed.
I am going to say for 95% sure that those are Badlands 3.8s. Proportionally they are too tall and too wide to be 2.8s, but I have been wrong many times before. Once I convert my Typhon arms, hubs and driveshafts I was going to either run Badlands 3.8s or Badland MX28s.
I knew from the tread pattern that they weren't the MX series but it is amazing how much taller and wider the MX series is compared to their Badlands counterpart. I just saw the picture and it looked very close to when I put the Kraton wheels and tires on my Typhon so I was almost positive they were the 3.8s lol. In my mind, they should have just named MX38 and left the Badlands out of the name to prevent confusion.This ^^^ My post above, I was confused about the difference between 3.8 Badlands and Badlands MX38. Both are 3.8 size tires, but the standard Badland is more a truggy size tire, the MX38 is a monster truck size tire - bigger.
Pic copied from another thread here - these are the MX38's - huge tires.

1/2" offset is standard on all these Proline wheels mentioned above. The 3.8 is too big on the Truggified Typhon and too hard on the straight cut diffs. MX28s either taped or strapped with braid are the best from my experience anyways.SO....3.8 "regular" Badlands? Does anyone know if any 1/2" offset is needed when ordering. I will by buying the Kraton/Outcast hex, axle and carrier hubs. Not using the hex extensions.
So I decided to truggify but the axles are way to long... am I doing something wrong?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.
Are you sure you mounted Kraton V2 hubs and hexs to pair with the longer axels??? They all fit together for a wider Typhon.So I decided to truggify but the axles are way to long... am I doing something wrong?
I'm telling you, Arrma should have a Typhon Xtreme RTR that's already Truggified!!! It's such a BEAST with strapped 2.8 MT wheels especially. Glad you got it sorted. Happy New Year's.Ok I got it now. The prob was that I was using the whole axle instead of just the outer part. The truggified typhon is soooo much more stable even with the stock tires. Highly worth the upgrade.
oh yeah!! That and some spiral cut diffs and they will have total market domination!! Happy new year to you tooI'm telling you, Arrma should have a Typhon Xtreme RTR that's already Truggified!!! .
