Quick baja build #100

[Z.hb71]

I think zero growth could work on your twin. They used to run em on the Bigbores before brps were a thing I believe.

 

[crucialRC]

The other option is no growth foams...?‍ but could also be a waste of $$$ ...for me twin

Yeah. The issue is the tire fitting on the wheel for me tho. Can't get the beadlock to seat correctly.

Just glue the darn things on and be done with it ?

Tires are belted already, no need for zero growths. I'd run standard foams, and tape them if anything.

Last one was tapped as well?‍

Yes, but if it has a bad bead seal it wont matter what you run it will blow a bead easily. Foams are to wide for the tires. Visibly you can see a width difference in tires from the uber to almost any 5ive-t size.

Agree with the 5t setup but the baja rears foam and tire is a good match??

I was tired of waiting for the rcmax rod ends so made my own. 5/16 heim, used a IRC shock spacer as the OD of it fit perfectly inside the heim. Had to trim off about a 1/16" off the end to fit inside the hostile hubs. Also had to drill the RPM out a touch, but these worked awesome and are obviously much larger than the factory style.

First outing today, lasted 20 minutes which is roughly 16 minutes longer than all of last years runs ?.

But the wheel nut came off and ended it short, after further inspection the beads started coming out also from the uber tires ?‍ likely going in the trash

Yip my one uber is toasted ??‍

 

[Z.hb71]

I'm so glad I decided to buy hostiles instead of the Ubers

 

[DougStar]

Ubers iv had no issues with on my reed 34?? my twin did the one in?‍

Those the 5b width or 5t width though. The baja 5b rear uber's seem to hold up well, just not the losi 5ive-t/ Baja tt width

 

[crucialRC]

5ive-T Ubers??

One of my 5b rears is now toast?‍
