Bought some cheap tires from china. On my first run i tried to jump a small snow bank, and both right side tires flew up in the air

From one of your other threads.
They are 2.8 not 2.2. The plastic on these cheap wheels can be brittle and bust around the hex especially the thin spoke style wheels.

SCT rims (1/10) are 2.2 on the outside 3.0 on the inside (hex side). 2.2 rims are stadium truck sized rims. The ones you broke are considered 2.8 rims. Get 2.8 rims or SCT rims.
 
Just get a set of 12mm hexes and proline badlands. Problem solved.
From where thou? I acually wanted lockups but i don't want to pay 50 to have tgem shipped from the US

So long story short tires cost me 190$
 
I find with the Chinese wheel/tire combos that the tires are usually pretty decent and the wheels are usually crap.
 
Aw man that sucks!
The only time I buy cheap is through recommendations or experience.
Usually I buy the best I can find and never Worry about it again. Yes everything costs a lot more but I can't say that I not satisfied afterwards.
This $190 lesson maybe will save you thousands in the future, congratulations!

+1 to this. The plastic is very brittle, especially when cold. I picked up a set of cheap amazon chinese wheels/tires for a friends 4wd ECX Ruckus and installed them in the heat of summer, they were great. But the first cold bash they shattered into a hundred pieces.
