Also, if you choose to mount your Badlands' beads on the inner-most bead lip of the wheel, you actually glue the part of the sidewall that touches the outer-most bead lip, so that there is no gap and nothing can get forced between the tire and the outer-most lip...it works very well.

Another option is to just run true LPR/3.7" tires on LPR/Half-Ups/3.7" wheels, which are designed to have a very short sidewall so that there is no sidewall bulge.

An even better option is to run the new Pro-Line VTR wheels and tires, which have ultra-short sidewalls and absolutely zero sidewall bulge, so there is no sidewall roll what-so-ever. They aren't ROAR approved yet, but they are in the process, and should be soon...at least before the next Worlds

Problem is, Badlands don't come in LPR or VTR, so you will have to either glue the tire beads to the inner-most bead lip of the wheel, or cut the beads off to enlarge the inner diameter of the tire to the bead diameter of the wheel you like.

In all honesty, though, mounting Badlands on the MT/3.2" or LPR/Half-Ups/3.7" wheels in the normal way does not cause any problems or negative side-effects...it just looks funny sometimes. The only time you would even notice it or need to fix it would be if you were racing competitively.

I've seen some guys strip em maybe it was user error, but I've never heard any striped 23mms, but I hate the slump and I really think it effects handling. I'm trying to keep up with my cousins losi 1.0 8t come on! I need all the help I can get. Blah, blah a Maxx will never keep up with a truggy. I don't believe it nor do I care. Nothing against truggies.

Should I try to wait on the new Proline VTR setups? Probably not? They sound awesome got a link chad?

I don't like the double glueing idea not with BL. Although i will tape the next tires that I get.

I hate it. This is standard size maxx right? With proline offset of course.


Still don't know what to do.

It is listed under all the maxxes and revo varients do you reall think it would fit the 3906 though. You know if Mike would just build the CD unit this would be non issue. He reallyyy needs to hire more help. I think hes running the risk of hurting his amazing rep. With the whole rarely answering emails thing because he has so many projects going that he can't keep up with. He did finally answer one my recent ones though. I may post up what it said. Its kind of open ended...
