You did read my post, right? The whole point of my question was to possibly avoid buying the wheels/tires just to see if they fit or not. If I was going to go ahead and buy them just to see if they fit, I wouldn't have posted the question. Thanks for your input, I guess?
One review said they had a off set that caused them to rub on the inside . You might call the seller to get the info on that. That is a dirt cheap price though.
; at least that is what I was told by customer service.
Just an FYI; If you buy from this place, shipping is free when you spend 25.00. @ Hobbypartz you have to spend 50.00 to get free shipping. Not sure why since it's the same company?I looked at those as well but they are on backorder until the end of April
The tire and wheel choice is one that I am very experienced with experienced at making the wrong choice anyway. I have a box full of failed tires and wheels that have cracked or torn off the wheel or have no structural integrity left after ballooning beyond their recovery point I have tires that were ribbed inside to minimize I have taped tires on the inside and had that work pretty good for a short time. I t is unfortunate that the tire tech has not kept up with the batteries available . I run maxamps 6s 5450 mah true 120 c and the tires just fail.I called and spoke with the tech support department. They were very vague on specific vehicle fitment; basically said that the wheels/tires should work on any 17mm , 1/8 scale RC. I am still contemplating. I really like what Pro-line haballoos to offer; they are expensive but I have that little voice in my head saying, "you get what you pay for sometimes". For roughly $34 shipped, those wheels/tires from hobbypartz will either be the greatest deal or an epic fail. The weather has been crappy where I live anyway, so new wheels/tires are not a priority right now.
On a similar note, I have read where the stock Talion wheels have been cracking. Is a solid buggy wheel better overall than say a spoke or "mag" wheel? I can only guess that the stock wheels have been cracking on 6S, not sure though. Decisions, decisions!
. I am only running 4s right now and may just do a pinion upgrade and remain on 4s. The super speeds aren't that important to me. From what I have seen, running 4s and a different pinion will be good enough for me. My Talion came with the Losi King pins mounted on the solid white wheels. The tires are pretty much done and after owning multiple 1/10 scale RCs with cool wheel designs, solid wheels don't excite me at all.LOL. I know, I know; functionality over looks but the Talion already looks soooooo cool that I want to top it off with some nice looking wheels/tires. As I had said earlier, the Pro-line wheels / tires are expensive but may be my best option. Thanks again for your input.
Yeah the Talion is very cool looking and the solid wheels don't do anything for it looks wise, I have used paint pens on some of my solid wheels to divide into four parts with alternating colors and gotten quite a few likes from people where I run my cars at.Thank you
I saw those and they look really cool, only ones left in stock are the chrome rims. I guess the chrome would look okay on the Talion, especially for the price. Your Kraton/JC Concepts rig looks awesome by the way.
I have a set of chrome fang wheels also. Bought them when they were on sale with another set. Not bad, but the rims seem a bit brittle IMO. Got them for spares, not really for the rims.
Yes they were, and that's the only place I could find them as well.
