It's just my opinion but i believe it does have to do with Redcat. You are a fixture hear and have helped us our and i am sure that redcat appreciates you too. (just my opinion, so this comment will probably be removed. lol)

the volcano uses 2.8 rims, you probably got 2.2's but they look good, also pro line 30 series will work on the volcano rims, look good too.

ranger let me know how the mashers 2000s do, but iknow proline dirt paws are awesome in the snow but they are small

Boy you are old Ranger........LOL, those look kinda like the 16.5's I have on my 85 Dodge 350

yea i guess i am real old school. if i get those rims think i might have to get an old muscle car body to go with it. i got those rims on my grand cherokee too. i love those old aluminum slots. $120 bucks for rims with a lifetime warranty would be great. what can i say the old school is the best school.

yes they do come with life time warrenty aswell
I gota say........ they really do look better than expected .......... as far as size wise........... they were made to the himoto viper specs......or valcano

I like the streched out look myself..... im oversizing my revo rims to give less tire roll.

If you want them a different size to suit your needs...........just let me know and ill set you up at my expense.....(shipping and so on)

Thanks for your order

17$ rims eh...

Thats just funny!!!

You dont know **** about grades of aluminum either do ya!!!

Do your research before shouting your mouth off!!!

Look around for billet 6061 aluminum rims... 100$ for 4 rims is cheap

Dont compare cheap china casted rims to machined billet rims............

Our rims come with a life time warrenty anyhow.

Peace Bro.
I Was not Bad mouthing your Product.
I work with Aircraft in the real world and I know a fair amount about Aluminum, as it is used Extensively throughout my industry.
6061 is not considered Aircraft Grade. I have seen that certain RC Manufacturers are using Higher grade Material to make Chassis Plates.
Thats why I made my post.
Also, $100 may be cheap compared to other MFG's, but it is still OVER half the cost of these 1/10 Redcats.
That said, the rims look AWESOME, and I like your lifetime warranty. And if my Peeps here say they hold up to The ABUSE, then I will take their word on it.
Honestly though,at that cost (even if it IS a good deal) I would save those wheels for racing if the weight is low enough, or for Bling on a Show car.
Just My Humble Opinion...........................
P.S. below are pics of my $17 rims

They look like $17 dollar rims. Quality costs, durability costs and bling costs. They are a very good deal for 4 rims and lifetime warranty.

Ultra bummed out!!

I ordered my tires from RCPlanet.com on Feb. 8th and they just emailed me today saying that they are on backorder with no ETA. How do you not have an ETA!!??? Why did it take 5 days for them to figure that out? Can anyone or any dealers help me out? If so, I'll cancel my order with them and order some 2.2's from someone else...
