Try these tires and wheels! You will love them. They are small in dia. and look great, as well as hook up great.http://www.ebay.com/itm/knobby-mud-front-rear-tyres-tires-rims-set-for-1-5-BAJA-5B-HPI-KM-ROVAN-rc-4pcs-/251317397729?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item3a83af28e1

I have these on my XBE awesome... grip is great and adds more speed as they are a little taller.

The trenchers are taller then the set you linked? What is the diameter of the smaller set?

 

[twissted]

I'll check. Looks to be at least a inch in the difference!

Wow those are a bit smaller. They look to be close to the Bowtie size. They must be a 5b sized tire.

just under 6.5''

blew another tire and I'm getting tired (No pun intended) of it! I just bought the 1717 1580kv motor. My be that will help?

Hey BoukeG.....it looks like from the pictures that you ran a BEC, proper, separate from the one on the stock ESC. If that is the case, do you have to modify the reveiver line from the ESC, like pull the pos and neg pins from the connector and only run the signal line? Or can you plug it right in as usual anyway, and run the external BEC to the BATT plug on the receiver?

Would this be done (if you did it) to guarantee that you don't get motor cut-off if the ESC BEC thinks there is low power?

If anybody knows what I'm talking about you can jump right in!!! Any info would be greatly appreciated.
