:yes:The Thundertiger wheels uses the same bead as the white 40series wheels above. The Thundertiger wheels are the exact same diameter as the traxxas geode wheels which the Masher 3.8´s is supposed to be mounted on but uses the "old school" bead. You should be able to mount the 3.8 mashers on the Thundertiger wheels mate.
I´m planning to do exactly that for this summer season.:yes: |
Hmm, how do you want to mount the tires on a wheel with another bead?
Cut the outer ring off? Or do you have 40 series tires mashers? |
I would choose to cut the two inner rings I think, so you hava a protective edge against sharp rocks, pebbles and stuff. Nope, 3.8 mashers is what I´m planning to use. :)

Hmm, I am curieus to see pictures of that!
If you see the Traxxas wheels, they don't have the outer ring, but the inner only, so I would cut the outer ring? Otherwise the tire will be sitting trange on the outer bead? Do you have a link or a part number for those wheels? Thanks for the help! |
Thunder Tiger pd7532 :). Yes I understand what you mean but I would still cut the two inner rings and mount the tire inside the outer rings to keep it protected :).

Hello everyone! Time for an update:yipi:.
Have been bashing some, but still too little this summer. Have made a few updates to the truck, New wheels and tires, and a new lid:sarcastic: http://cdn07.dayviews.com/114/_u2/_u...1445370624.jpg http://cdn07.dayviews.com/114/_u2/_u...1445370630.jpg And I finally manage to break my plastic servo mounts!:lol:, so i made some new ones from aluminium:party: http://cdn07.dayviews.com/114/_u2/_u...45370660/l.jpg The merv got jealous so i made a similar looking lid for that one too:party: http://cdn07.dayviews.com/114/_u2/_u...1445370636.jpg And one last thing. The setup with the battery tray and everything sits the same as before, but I moved the tranny a bit more to the back so I could use stock lengt xl center dogbones and won´t have to fab some up every time I break them. Keep on bashing everyone! |
Oh, and here is the vid:party:

Good to hear from you again!
Looks great! How did the Masher plan work out? |
Thank you ruudxd!:party:
I went with some old school v-thread, Traxxas maxx 3.2 tires on the Thunder tiger 23mm hex wheels instead, since they are molded thicker than the new school tires. A friend has some 3.8 mashers layin around, might be looking in to what you are looking for if a chance is given:wink: It will fit :). |
That would be great, unfortunatly I am not in the financial position to buy the tires and wheels and hope they fit.
I personally like the look of the Mashers better then the tires you have on it now, but that is just me. |
