ECX AMP MT Tires/offset

[Austxhorn]

Did you need to Change gearing at all?

With the ST's, Nope there about the same size as stock.
With the Mt's, stock motor got alittle hot. Maybe go down a couple of pinion teeth.didn't get a chance to experiment since i went BL soon after .

Ordered up 1 pair of Duratrax ST's no offsets(rear). Mt's had a bit sidewall roll still like them tho, but just wanted to see what the chrome look like. Plus they might be better for the track i go to.There about the same size as the stock tires. I know theres better tires out there, but these look pretty good.

Are the 0 offset the ST to get? Local shop has only the 1/2" (every single variation...)

Aaaaand contrary to the information I got here you need to get the Duratrax ST with the half inch offset if you want the same width as stock.

I had to order the 0 offset ones online ,sit and pay shipping instead of going to the lhs that the half inch in stock too.
Noooo I'm not bitter.

I went through this same problem with my Torment. Now I have a brand new set of Sixpack's for a Slash 4x4 that won't work with my Torment body. It can be difficult to get proper/correct info about ECX cars/trucks. There should be an offset thread as a sticky somewhere that has correct offsets for all vehicles.

It looks like itcan run with these tires without things rubbing, so that's ok at least. I guess the positive aspect will be less stress on the mechanics and better protected bearings/CVDs (they are completely inside the rim), we'll see how it handles.
It sits right between a buggy and a truggy in terms of width / wheelbase ratio, while with the stock tires it's like a truggy (so 10% more or less depending on the direction).
