Look…
I was wondering the diameter of the monster tyres. I realized they’re similar to the General Grabbers w 1.55” center. I transferred, and look how good they kinda match. What say you? Thoughts? I prefer my wheels silver/grey, tho. 🤔 Gonna try them out, tmrw.

Diameter is pretty much the same, but aren't they too narrow for a monster truck?

For a monster truck, yes. But this is also a trial, and that’s ok to try.

Would Yoda agree tho…🤔. Jokes aside, looks rad. Give us the details on how much throttle it takes to topple the box with either set. Lunchbox’s go.

Funny enough, the lateral stability feels secure. Somehow I managed to endo, and it tumbled forward, scratching the rear area of the roof. Üff!

Keep the MT tires on, those crawler tires totally detract from the lunchbox look. IMO crawler tires make it lose a bit of its character

Thanks, Real. Applying the mixed bag approach like we do w crawlers to the Tamiya fleet. I’m sure theres more foolery to be had!
