don't use box tube for the rear driveshaft....it'll never balance and it'll vibrate like a mofo on the road.

Yes Andy, I know that a box tube rear will vibrate. That is why I am going to use a stock Toy rear driveshaft. Did you read my last post?

I read it to mean that you'd use a box shaft if the toy one didn't work....lighten up buddy.

I'll have a box one that I'll probably use on the trail. At the trailhead when I'm airing down, I'll pull out the good one, and put in the tube one. That way I'll be safe as far as destroying a driveshaft goes. Haven't seen a box tube one break ever I don't think...

I read it the same way... I was trying to imagine that box spinning at 65 mph...

mikey, whats the setup your running with the mtrs? and how big are they at whatever psi that's in them right now? i know they measure 36 on 10s at 30psi. i know what tire i'm going with if they get below 36 at 12...

Well, I can tell you now that 37" MTR's on an 8" rim are taller than 36" SX's on an 8" rim. crashinaz verified that. Why in the world would you want to run them on a 10" or worse yet 12" rim? That makes no sense. I mean, they are a 12.50 wide tire...

Oooo, nice job man!

when did i say i was going to run them on 10s? or fawking 12s? i'm no dumbass. my 38x13s are on 7s. on 10s was the only actual size i found, so i stated it. i want to use 7s or 8s, thats why i asked you.
oh 36s at 12 psi is what i meant...

12 psi? What the hell are you doing running them at that high of a pressure?!?!?! hehe

Seriously though, I run mine at 20 on the road, and they still don't wear on the edges...

yeah it is kind of high, but if that's what they need for checkin, then that's fine, it's pretty easy to get rid of air, hehe

i dont know though, i found a set of brand new 35x12.5 bfg mts for 300 mounted...mikey didn't you used to run them, the sidewalls are weak on them though aren't they?

BFG's have to be one of the weakest tires out there. I've seen WAY too many people slice and dice BFG sidewalls. Save up for some MT/R's.

figured that was the case, might just pick them up since their brand new and make a few hundred off them, then i might take a set of the 37s for 600 you said you could get...

Uh...last time I checked, BFG's won ALL of the RC competitions last year...the proof's in the puddin'. IMO MTR's are road tires. I'd get the KM's and forget about it.
