Can’t get Pro-Line Trencher & Street Fighter off the hub

[Zakto]

I bought for my Karton 6S the two sets of tires. The Trencher are really impressive traction wise, but tougher on steering. Also no ballooning due to belt inside.

Now I wanted to try the asphalt version but can’t get them off the hub, like they’re glued in the back. Any suggestions on how to succeed without damaging hub?

So, you can't pull the rim off the hub? Is that what you are saying? If so they come off, use force.

Also, if steering is your main concern, you'll have to go lighter in the front diff.

Sounds like its midway of stripping the hex so its stuck. How I do it is to stick a scew driver in the diff cup to hold it in place and turn the tire till it frees from being jammed. (if thats the problem)

Whack it with a hammer

Keep wiggling it looser and looser. Eventually it should plop off

Force and proper wiggling did the job, thx!
Was too careful.

But those proline stree fighters make the Kraton a solid asphalts basher. Such total grip, it barely lifts the nose as front has more grip. Such propels forward.

Thank you @gotnitro great advice! I’ll do the servo upgrade soon.

But I’m impressed with the pro-line tires. But the wheel hubs are out of weak plastic (center hub gets screwed on) They kinda force you to get aluminum core hubs, which sell for ridiculous $100 for a set of 4. But 8 screw rim hub is cool.
