Glad to see you got ur new rigs!! New tires already eh? Money must be good out there? Stay safe out there with all the mindless idiots on their phones all the time!!
Those choppers look sick on that Kraton man!Both V2's got Jconcepts choppers this fine morning.
Choppers are a bit lighter. See how it goes.

I contacted them to see if they have a way for people to get ahold of just the hex's. We will see what they say.Yea im still salty and there doesn’t seem to be a way to buy the hex for those either
I reached out to them on Monday about buying foam inserts for those.. no reply. Hopefully you have better luck.
Nice, they actually responded.. no replacements available? WTF!? That's just as lame as Proline expecting people to pony up another $100 for aluminum adapters for a set of wheels and tires they paid $200 for. Yet, Arrma BF'S need no upgrades as the wheels just don't break, almost ever? I've beat the tar out of my Arrma wheels in summer and winter, never a problem. Just wish they had more tread options. Stock wheels and tires on my Xmaxx are pure trash. I've been working on separating the tires from the wheels to replace the foams. Turns out practically all, like 6 out of 8 wheels are cracked all around. I think the tire was the only thing holding the wheels together. Funniest part is 8s BF'S weigh about the same yet the wheels are waay stronger.

For the like of me I can't understand why Jconcepts and Proline insist on the removable hex design? It's just ridiculous. I mean yes, I know the TRX 8s rigs use undersized 12mm stubs that are used for 1/8 scales but, all thats needed to adapt 18mm 1/5 scale wheels are oversized wheelnuts or flat washers.. I really wish they'd just drop the removable hex nonsense already..
Not dissing the tires, I have a set of Jconcepts choppers sct 1/10 scale. They are awesome.Yeah,Im not to keen on the hexes either but I like Jconcepts tire designs. They look sick IMO. I'll wait it out and see what their aluminum hex adaptors look like. If the wheels don't work out it'll be Vitavon wheels. don't wanna go there though!
Pricing is just ridiculous.View attachment 322324View attachment 322325
I hope they hold up great and my concerns are unfounded.
I tried finding videos of the Jconcepts but not alot out there. Exocaged being the most notable but he doesn't beat them very hard so who knows. Best of luck with them!!
Those Choppers would surely be on my list to buy if only they weren't so heavy and pricey. Good with the bad I suppose. For the heck of it, I reached out to Jconcepts to see if I can get 1/5 MT tire foams for the Choppers or Magmas. They said they only sell them as a complete set in pairs.. @GNT1 ,what kind of foams do they use? Open or closed cell? I hear the Jconcepts and Proline beadlocks are interchangeable. That would be really cool if true. Enjoy!!
