never heard of the zombie maxx. to bad i sold my revo the other day. I would like to get another one and take my time building it from the ground up. Thoughts on a Chassis?

Kershaw designs has one, it looks like it was thrown together though.....

I personly think the stock chasis is fine.
The driveshafts, suspension arms, etc... is what I'd upgrade

another vote for the mulchers or zombies. The mulchers are unstoppable on grass and pavement tractionwise, last a good while on pavement as well. I didn't get to run the zombies much, but they seemed like a killer tire as well.

Another Zombie Max Vote, awesome tires. I also like the Imex Dirt Dawgs.

Once I get the cash I think I'll try the zombie maxx's. Thanks guys!!!

This is VERY IMPORTANT !
Befor you mount the Zombies you must belt the inside w/nylon packing tape prior to glueing. The rubber is soft and the tires will turn into pizza cutters easy.Once the mod is done you'll be super happy with them 4 sure !

Hehe did a little more research and I actually am going to try this :yes: :

I've always liked the Moabs and had great luck with them.Just gear down a little and watch your temps the first run.

Went to my LHS and saw a revo with badlands on it, and I'm going to buy some and stretch it to fit the rulux 1/8 1.5in offset wheels. I've heard that the badlands balloon alot, am I right about this? Has anyone had any experince with this setup?

ballooning in a car is because of the diff oil. that and air is not able to escape the wheel because there are no holes in the wheels to release it. badlands dont balloon any more then any other.

There are some free used badlands to try in the PIF thread...

Wow, that is just so wrong. Tires ballooning have nothing to with diff oil at *all*. Nor is it caused by air "trapped" in the wheel without any means of escape. Tires balloon because every single atom is trying to move in a straight line but being forced to move in a curve instead i.e centrifugal force at work. The faster the wheel spins, the more pronounced it is.

WOW, that is just so wrong. your going to sit here and tell me that air trapped in the tire has nothing to do with it? Where did you go to RC school at? I myself recent experienced an issue with ballooning tires and not having proper holes in the wheel or tire proper. Whatever. Diff oil does matter has well, anyone will gladly agree. Your explanation isnt wrong either. Do not come here acting all high and mighty either RC God.

EASY BOYS, You fight nice now.

Ventilation,diff viscosity,Tires not being balanced,exceptionally soft rubber and not being belted,Terminal velocity from raw electrical horse power/centrifical force all reasons the tires look like pizza cutters at speed

I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to assume you had any clear knowledge of 8th grade physics.
