i am planning to get some wheels and tires for my next hop up. which tires are good on traction off and on road?
which wheels are good and wont strip out? i want the hot bodies daggars but ive heard all hot bodies strip out fast. i want thin spokes unlike the stock ones and the q-6's.

prob with the "Big Joe's" are that big air bends the axel part of the wheel (the bit inside that allows for the wider dish) and results in "wobbly wheels, especially in the air, choose wisely, go big for looks and slow "climbing stuff, jumping, stay standard size, I have had no problems with the Q6's, (HPI) just make sure you "tweek" the wheelnuts every 15-20 mins (a tanks worth of fuel) to catch them coming loose BEFORE they shred the hex!

if the lugnuts are loose they will shread the hexes?

Madwelshman

hell yes!!! as the wheels "loosen" they will hack at the hex reccess, once they do that, the wheels knackered, dont even bother wasting another nut on it, once the hex shape has been damaged it doesnt matter how hard you tighten up the nuts, they will simply fall off!

u cant loctite them? what about the dirtbonz tires?

Savage-Norway

the dirt bonz are awsome on on road driving but work perfectly well for off road too

Wizz Kid

is there a place where i can get them together in a set or do i have to buy them seperate

Savage-Norway

What do you mean seperate, they come in pairs from hpi

I think you have to buy them separate i think i'll get a pair as well
The big joes are cool, they look nice and prevent your truck from over turns on a sharp bends but it does slow you down a helluva lot its also good for jumping!

and they are like 1/2 the weight of the stock ones arent they? does this affect the wheelies?(i have the 14 t cb and i dont wanna wheelie like crazy, and i have the 15 t also if i have to change it)
