Pro-Line Aluminum Hubs

[Rottster]

I bit the bullet and got the aluminum hubs. Stupid expensive, yes, but I couldn't make them on a lathe/mill for less. Granted, their plastic hubs should give longer service and seem to be designed to fail... Planned obsolescence so to speak, but they should last for a bit.

Time will tell.

Looks nice! I think I would have went with the cheaper gpm ones though. Nice fu to proline

My main concern with aluminum hubs is they might crack the wheel itself. I don't like what PL has done with their hubs. I wonder if you could put a little metal ring around the plastic hubs to keep them from breaking.

These? Do you know if they also make the smaller 2.8” adapters?

I totally agree, but with 6s in the "Fat Rock" Big Rock and 8s capable in the King Kraton, I can barely get 10 minutes of run time in either before wasting a hub. It's always good to have a cheap "fuse" in the system, but If I can't get through a battery pack, there's no point. If the wheels get wasted, I have other options in mind. So far I really do love the traction on my Badlands belted MTX HP's and have had zero issues. I guess I'll see if the wheels can stand my builds. BTW, I even cracked the hubs on my BR with pro-line street fighters!

I really do dig their tires though, lol. Minimal ballooning, great traction and good wear too.

I looked a while back and could only find the 3.8 adapters.

My badlands mx38s non-belted and trenchers 40 series balloon so much. They do get good traction and wear (as long as it is off road). They look pretty good too.
