Mad face was a typo...

Ok thanks, is DDM a good place to pick those up?

Recat pit stop

Just click the link below RCDads post.

That's what I'm running, and I think that's probably the most cost effective.

Ok thanks for the tip.

11 oz is only .6875 pounds. That is lightweight!

HA! Ya I may have misread the scale... and had a few to drink last night. And yes i just rechecked. 1 lb 11oz lol.

It says they come with adaptors to run with other large scale trucks. But weather or not the adapters would work with the mt I don't know...

 

[Michaels12]

I looked at the close up, and from the discription it seemed like the adaptor for the FG is removable leaving the 25? Mm hex for a baja application.

 

[crazyfast]

They are made to run with 24mm hex adapters.

And just to be clear, the weight is 1lb 11oz. I tried to clarify that earlier, but using the 'talk to type' feature on my phone isn't the greatest.

 

[Michaels12]

Well then the MT tires would be lighter if the quoted weight of 1.5 pounds was correct and I assume it is....

 

[crazyfast]

I can't imagine the MT wheel weighing lighter than 1lb 11oz.

Factory XT wheel is 1lb 1/2oz

a knobby 5T wheel 1lb 7oz

all terrain 5B rear wheel is 1lb 1oz

The MT tires are 2.5lbs each. The full set weighs 10lbs.

We'll I stand corrected, and I'm curious about performance with the imex tires.

The Redcat MT tires are fairly tough.... I wonder how the imex compair in that respect.

 

[crazyfast]

I can only compare to the XT tires. I noticed as I made passes up and down the road with the XT tires, they seemed to wobble a bit (out of balance??) only at high speed. I did get a chance to a couple passes with these before my steering servo broke, and they seemed just as smooth as the 5T wheels/tires I've been running. But won't be able to give a good review probably for a good month or so.

WOW!!!! That's a lot of weight to be throwing around!!

 

[Guest]

Yep. The MT is a beast!

WOW was I wrong I remember weighing mine last year I thought 1.5lbs each, 2.5lbs each is REALLY heavy!

 

[crazyfast]

Never actually realized how much ground clearance I gained until I set it next to my moms XT..... WOW!! (definitely need to lower body on hers)
