Big Rock What tires are you all putting on your BRCC?

[GingerWeasel]

I was thinking about the types that go on the granite. What would you use to widen the stance even more?

I used the Hot Racing 17mm hex adapters with the 10mm offset. Others use the Typhon arms. I think the new version is wider than the original though. Someone should be able to confirm or correct me.

I use both actually. Also the Proline MX 28 Badlands tires because nothing compares. Oh this is on my BRCC. If you get Typhon arms you need the turn buckles too.

Yeah, the V3 BRCC uses Typhon arms from the factory

Badland Mx28 tires with 1/2 backspace will give you 1/2 inch on each corner.

 

[GingerWeasel]

Any tire and wheel recommendations? Working with the V3. What is "1/2 backspace"?

Proline trenchers .

MX28 Badlands

I like the looks of those tires. Noob question, is there a common or popular rim/wheel that those would fit that would widen the stance?

They used to make them with offset hexes. I guess they are going to keep making them as it says back in stock soon. Haven’t seen them for a while tho

Use the Duratrax 14mm wheels, and you don't need adaptors or the high $$$ Proline Raid wheels. I run the Duratrax Lockups, and love them. But, out of stock. The SixPack MT are in stock, under $30 a pair, and a 'Big Block' tread like the proline badlands MX -

Good grip?

 

[bicketybam]

The only thing I don't like about using the 14mm stock hexes is that the hexes themselves are junk. I can't tell you how many of the grub screw have stripped on me.

 

[Jerry-rigged]

Good grip?

My lock-ups have great grip.

I do have some SixPack, but in the ST (SCT) size. I run them on my Granite when I hit the track - the smaller tires make the Granite handle closer to a buggy vs the normal MT handling... The track I run most often is loose loamy, and the sixpacks do great.

The BLX hexes do look like cast pot metal. I have not stripped any, but then I have not had to take them off as often as you - you have me beat by a long shot on the broken axle count.

I don't run the 14mm hexes anymore. I've been running the 17mm HR adapters for over a year.

I second that on the Duratrax...I run them on BR and the Granite...yes cheaper but they hookup good. They do need to be balanced there are seriously out of balance takes a lot of clay to get them right. 7mm nut I use the Traxxas ones that have more and longer serration over Arrma ones and be careful not to overtighten...they work great

 

[jondilly1974]

I have a set of Lockups for my Typhon and they have a little less grip than my Badlands M2 buggy tires. I also have MX28s which are maybe my favorite tires. I have a soft spot for Badlands.

 

[GingerWeasel]

I'm even considering the stock Granite tires. $26 and they are wider. Anyone try these?
