^^^^I am leaving this post for others to learn from...(once upon a time...)..As the title says, I am looking for an affordable set of 4 or atleast a pair of 2 12mm hexed rims and smaller tires for testing my new esc/brushless combo. I have paypal. *I am not concerned about tread type or what rims look like or their condition, just need smaller then original overall diameter. **I am attempting a Castle Creations Mamba X, 4106 4600kv Brushless upgrade on 2s and 3s.(already upgraded to metal diff gears, mip slash driveshafts, and HR 87t metal spur gear...have a traxxas wheelie bar, and numerous pinion gear sizes on way) for the RTR Ruckus 2wd on Lipo I just bought>>>>>UT OH!!!!!UPDATE..
\**Tried stock gearing(17/87), a basic 2s lipo 25c 2000mah....Its faster than original 15t motor/gear/esc, and new 4600kv motor temps are low...the motor temps are cold enough to not even bother with a temp gun.....decided to run a venom 3s 5000mah....."yes truck is insane out of control going from 3/4 to full throttle without adjustments in castle link"(going full throttle takes alot of practice...but can be made esy using the CC Link software)....***I believe that using this CC mamba x and stock 17t pinion/87t metal spuron the stock Ruckus 2wd tire size....Dialing in with castle link software...IS.....very do-able. (upgrade to the original model which came with 2s lipo.. was the mamba x and 4106-4600kv combo., metal differential, a zip tie fix on steering servo and a metal spur gear) Very pleased...anymore is just dumb.
Thanx, Dan
