What did you buy today?

[-Dusty-]

I couldn't decide which tires to get for my Kraton, so I got two sets:

I tried the Trenchers first and promptly busted the diff cups on my front diff. Tons of grip.

How are the shockwaves?

How are the shockwaves?

Very similar to the stock Kraton tires with less flex, better grip and better handling. Road handling is decent too. I'm happy with them, using them for what they are designed for. I got the Trenchers for the nasty stuff

I run the 3.8 trenchers on my outcast and savage flux. I like the amount of contact patch for wear and the amount of tread/sidewall for cushioning jumps. Never ran them with 6S though, so not sure how they hold up to that kind of abuse. My buddy has them on his talion and urns 6S, so far, they have held together.

Seeing that proline has discontinued them, I'd likely try the shockwaves next when tires are needed again.

I just ran them hard at one of my bash spots. They really excelled on this type of terrain. Grass was long so I stayed on the dirt. They even handled the natural jump well and you never know how you are going to come off that thing.

I like those kinds of jumps. Skate parks are fun, but become very predictable.

Lightly used senton v3.

I like the tires on it. Reminds me of the old pro-line moab 1/8th buggy tires. I ran those on my jato and 1/8th basher buggy for a long time. Not a ton of grip, but held up well on pavement while getting grip on grass.

HR Al hubs

 

[bicketybam]

I love the HR hubs. Did you have any fitment issues?

 

[Voltron7]

No they fit perfectly and have held up so far to many sessions. Installation was butter.
Next overtime check I'm getting the rears, too.

I thought you had the rears too. That's what I had an issue with. One of the rears was a pain in the ass to get the pin through.

Oooo, I hope it's not from the hubs, that might be a deal breaker.... I've had times like you've described with stock setup, but it was because my hub was not set correctly (sticking out too far by a hair.) Now they are set right, the pins easily go in and out all four hubs.
Anyway, thanks for the info, hopefully others can share their experiences with the HR rear hubs.

For the fall/winter/spring senton project

Always wanted one of these as a kid. Was able to find one at a hobby shop about 40m away selling one for $299. Everyone else is selling it for MAP pricing of $412. Also managed to grab a Axial RR10 Bomber kit off the RCTech.net classifieds for a bargain.
