Kraton Couple questions

[Miklo]

Does anyone know if proline belts any of their tires? I don't see where it specifies on their site anywhere. Want to get a set of the road rage but not without belts.

Also has anyone played with the preload on the Kraton shocks? What effects are you getting if you add preload? Take it away?

I have not seen a proline tires that do not balloon.
Even their "belted" tires.

I have not played enough with pre-load to answer that question.

They do but they’re pricey

Wow, that is about what I would pay for a tire for my S2000 (1:1) when I had it. Pricey indeed!

Preload adjusts your ride height and that's about it. Usually set so that the arms are level.

The removable/interchangeable hex's are plastic and tend to break from what I've read. They sell alloy ones for $47 a pair.

$146 for a set of 3.8 belted onroad tires
$94 for a set of the alloy adapters

$240 for a set of tires is a bit rich for my blood.

Powerhobby has some, but I don't know how the wheels hold up. No onroad treads though:

Ive looked at those, but they’re heavier than a full size backflip wheel and tire by about 20grams each.
