How many of you that have purchased onroad style tyres and fitted them to your rampages / Mt, TT, Dune runners and had some onroad fun. Have you made other changes to your car to make it more of an onroader since the temptation of waking up all the neighbours in the morning with a tuned pipe screaming up an down the road is hard to resist. And after you spent all night doing a mod and cleaning. :D
 
well i've bolted some hpi adapters tarmac tires, baja ss pipe and a newbright escalade bodie it turned out really fun to play in the street i was having so much fun that i actualy drove till the engine exhaust port cracked and guess what the thing just kept on going it didn't gave up at all! now am waiting for it to arrive at my house here in brazil so i can put the esp 30.5cc bigbore kit and modd the FG torque pipe i got it and


drive it again ON and OFF road!
 
I think i might buy some tarmac tyres and give it a go , can or is there an easy way to lower the suspension a little so it may handle better on the road?
 
profile pictures!just go to my profile and check it out i got some pics in them and all so got to my youtube channel jacksongt2 and see it in there but here it is!

Thats what im talking about something thats a quick change from dirt to onroad and back to the dirt and dust. Love that body gives it a whole new look from the Mt look. Where are they from?
 
found it on ebay for 15 bucks free sh! i am not sure but i think there's a guy that sell's some models of it you have to look on ebay or just find your self a yard sale and if you're lucky to find a newbright remote control car it is worth it gutted it out and use the bodie and lights and you got your self a stadium truck!
 
believe it or not those tarmac tires do aboslutely fine on dirt! not gravel but on plain dirt they rock i would run them all day on dirt and they are cheap compared to those offroad tires! and they last for a very long time and the grip is owesome!
 
I noticed that the front are skinnier than the rears would running rears all round be the go or the fronts i would like to have same size all round.
 
Here is a video of my dune runner abusing a set of tarmacs

Nice vids that front mount camera really shows how much the tyres balloon and change shape with speed. You get a great look at the suspension doing its work to. Think i want a dunerunner now as well as a XB. :D
 
Cool camera rig. Can't believe how far out of track your fronts look with that lens. A smokey holeshot would have been great.

well i am always about price and saving money this is a very expensive hobbie so whenever i can squese out of it am on it, and searching on ebay came upon the front set rims/tires for 10 bucks and found the rears for about 20 and both set's were free sh so i realy don't care how they look a 40mph+ u cant even tell what's in there!
