help me identifying this tires
 
Guys, please check the tires on this Revo. http://www.strobe-rcracing.com

They are Sporttraxx rubbers on Hurricane rims, but somehow they don't look like the pictures you normally see of them.
Could they be modified somehow??

Thanks for your opinion
DAF

If you tallking about the one under buggy. looks like maybe a narrower rim. I have that tire.

Dafni 09.19.2005 09:05 AM

Yeah, the Revo. Second pic, under the buggy.

You have Sporttraxx? And you agree this has to be a modified rim or something? The sidewall definitely doesen't look stock. But I like it.

I put mine on a 40 series rim. It pulled the side wall out. It seems to help the handleing some. It don't have nothing to roll. It just pull the tire tight. I learned it from car experence.

I was wondering which truck you were talking about, I was going down the line....."Sport trax, G-Hawgs, Claw Dawgs, M2k's, G-Hawgs again...."

:D


Any idea, dabid?

They were abducted by aliens where they were probed repeatedly and thus shrunk or got wider, or whatever the heck makes them different from the unprobed tires. Because they are the only set of tires to have this happen to them, they are highly valued at auction. The effects are also able to only happen via powersources our solar system has yet to discover, so no other tire will ever look like that. If they do, they are obviously a fake, and the person should be prosecuted for fraud.

:L:

Dafni 09.19.2005 04:44 PM

Interesting. Silly me, I was already thinking about anti-matter...

crazyjr 09.19.2005 05:29 PM

Hey Dafni. The sporttraxx tires are available in revo as well as maxx sized wheels

Dafni 09.19.2005 05:36 PM

Yeah, I know. But neither look like the ones on this particular truck, really.
They are Hurricane rims, must be revo style, then. Maybe it's just fat foams?!

coolhandcountry 09.19.2005 08:20 PM

I am thinking they may have narrowed the rims out.

Waxxxymunkee 09.19.2005 09:34 PM

Isnt strobe a member here lol im new but i though I saw him here where is here im gonna go look for him **hey get over here** LOL

coolhandcountry 09.19.2005 09:47 PM

The revo style tires are 3.8. That is what i Have on a 40 series rim. It just don't look like that .But the rim is wider in 40 series. Find the owner of truck and we have the answer.

Easier said than done.
Maybe mike can help, he does business with the strobe guys.

Strobe 09.20.2005 07:47 PM

Yes they are the sport trax tires for the t-maxx, as mounted I used the old 2 stage foams that came with them. I cut the tires so they would mount to the hurricane rims.

dabid 09.20.2005 11:15 PM

Nah, that's what really happened, you just didn't see me hiding in the bushes. :D

Dafni 09.21.2005 01:59 AM

Thanks Strobe for clearing this up.

Please let us know when your revo pushrods and turnbuckles become available.

Strobe 09.21.2005 10:44 PM

P1, P2 AND P3 Pushrods and turnbuckles are currently available.

Dafni 09.22.2005 01:43 AM

Is Mike aware of this?
Mike, will you stock some strobe rods? They look like business, write me in for a set of turnbuckles and P2 pushrods.
