Hpi Baja Tires?

[beachthrottle1]

What all do I need so I can run the HPI Baja RIMS and tires?

Conversion kit for the hubs, the HPI ones apparenntly work. I have not tried it, but I am going to as soon as I get a chance to order a set.

thanks clubin.. pretty expensive to get the adapters and tires

I got the VP 8mm extended ones, the stock hpi rears do fit right on but don't give enough positive offset and it'll end up narrower than with standard buggy tires on the tt.

stock hpi hubs work or any of the aftermarket axle extenders I run GBE in the rear and stock in the front but has Darksoul's as well. I run stock hpi rear rims and RamTech billet rims in the front

I guess he's not here so is yet to be blackballed, seems like most sites ban him, I wondered why it got xed out though but so did clubins name when I typed that, is it cos his name's the same as VP's owner...he's given me good deals in the past and is just up the road from me, so I can't say anything bad...I shall remain neutral

I just copied the long list of 70 dirty words and forgot a few of them were people's names.

Ok back on topic... For the TT, whats a good tire setup? I am PROBABLY opting for HD compounds just to last longer.

I have those on my 5T conversion - they look awesome.

I'm jealous, they're probably gonna be the tire of choice, i like the MT tires but they weigh 2lb 4oz each...4hpi paddles weigh less than 2mt tires. Got the proline desert rat body coming then I need some of what you got coming.

If you send me that Desert Rat body that'll be good. lol


I think I am going to like the Proline tire's/rims. They do look good.
