: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?

Manne 03.24.2015 11:30 AM

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:

And I finally manage to break my plastic servo mounts!:lol:, so i made some new ones from aluminium:party:

The merv got jealous so i made a similar looking lid for that one too:party:

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!

Good to hear from you again!
Looks great!
How did the Masher plan work out?

Manne 10.22.2015 05:49 AM

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 :).

ruudxd 10.22.2015 11:37 AM

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.
