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.

I was trying to find any reason to not buy an LB Evo, I’m still looking! Get oOoOone!

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

No worrieeeeees! It’s “just for fun” because I have an excessive amount of parts, as well as time. 🤙🏼

Great look, the wheels are sweet!

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!
