Help on King Blackfoot hop-ups.

[SJoerD]

Just took a peek at the proline tires but I think they might be too costly for my wallet... [:I]

[Thesis]

They are worth te money!!! [8D] i've some Masher 2000's under my Dagger now and give loads of grip even when cornering on-road. A friend has them also on his Dagger"for quite a while now and they don't have any "big" signs of wear! [xx(]

You can also try, the one and only Conrad catalogue [] I saw nice 2.2" x 2.0" chevron tyres for 15euro for 2 if I am right [?]

[Thesis]

Sjoerd if you're interested [?] I've a set used (without any serious signs wear though!) I think Traxxas Stampede tires with good used silver rims they are a bit smaller then the monster tires from Tamiya. But if you lower your body I think they'll look good on the KBF.

Drop me a mail if you're interested or not.

I have only ridden it in the dirt so the lubrication in them only lasts for a couple of minutes maybe that could be the reason.

There's your problem.

You should not use grease on joint cups or dogbones, as this will cause dirt to bind and then this dirt will cause excessive wearing of the joint cups and dogbones.

Even though the manuals say you should lubricate them, that's not the best thing to do.

I would leave them dry if I were you.

I at one time had a Super Blackfoot (same drivetrain)... I Had, and still have, now on a set of rims for my king cab, duratrax onroad tires, check tower hobbies part# dtxc8005 or dtxc8006.
