I think we really need a size thats between the stock and this current size because this seems a bit big. I wonder how would the Big Rock ones work on the Vorteks, because the Big Rock would be happy take the Vorteks bootsI was just thinking the same lol
btw, I installed the servo. it was helluva fight, gotta recalibrate tomorrow cuz smth might be wrong, its zizzing for now and sometimes it lags.
hey @ChriswithaC,
I have a question. How your battery life looks like after the big tyres? I just got back from a 2x 5 min run because that's how much the battery lasted in the wet grass :S

I've not noticed any difference buddy , that's odd I'm getting about 25/30 mins with my zees there 100c 5200mah 3s
Hmmmm, it must be the grass then

Although I'll be honest I haven't run them in grass yet mind . Was the car spinning alot ????
I can understand slightly less battery run time with the wheels but as low as yours were buddy that's confusing.
I posted in another new thread. I was lucky I had the skyrc gps on, which recorded my runs. I ve done a total of ~10k feet or 3km with 2 batteries. This was also on full throttle because I was in a huge big park at 4, when there was no one else

Yours is 2wd though so it should last longer. 15ish minutes I’d consider ‘normal’ with a 5200mah battery in a 3s vorteks. He may have gotten one of the bum smart 100 escs that were so common with the vorteks initial release. They’d hit lvc at 3.9/cell. Was very frustrating.
Heya,
Thanks..like the @Velodromed said, yours is 2wd and I also think its quite low geared. mine is 18t, which is great w stock tyres.
Btw I fixed the servo(was misaligned), put the stock tyres back. Did like 5min bashing, 5000ft total, and battery was still at 4.05volts per cell. So I think we're ok. The 2.8" tyres will need a low gearing perhaps

Well to be honest though buddy , you should lower the gearing with bigger wheels dude . I dropped it down to 16t and working great .
Do you have different size Pinions there to give it a try .
I don't have pinion gears yet,cuz I find them super super expensive, so still looking for options. Under no circumstances will I pay £15 for a new pinion gear
But you know bro!! The Louise RC tyres are same profile as base Vorteks tyres. Parcel company failed to deliver them today, but hopefully I ll get them next days.will post pictures. I ordered them from Germany, and there was no VAT charged on it and so it was only ~£90 w delivery for 2 full sets. ( I bought racing tyres and some for grass/dirt too)

Yes the non safety d pinions work on the spectrum motor. However, you cannot put a safety d pinion on other motors, they only work on the spectrum safety d motors. Some people say you can drill them out, but I’ve never tried it.

Yes buddy they work but as @Velodromed said the safety d pinions don't work on other motors
Can you please tell me if this set aill work on my Vorteks then?

Nope. you need mod .08 (also known as 32 dp) and your car has a stock 3S motor, right? So it needs a 5mm bore. This applies if you have a stock 3S vorteks.
It’s .06 mod and 3.2mm shaft.
