Jesus, with all of the rim styles out here, why would CNR steal the RAMTech Sidewinder design? And then make it cheaper looking with the skinny ribs?

What's the best material for rims though? Aluminium is heavier than plastic, fatigues, snaps. So flywheel effect (bad) and harder on braking. What about carbon fibre?

too bad they only fit on the ON ROAD CARS, it beats the 200+ dollar for the other rims. Let us know if they fit yiyr buggy when you get them?if they fit it would be worth the 100.00

actaully aluminum is very durable,and will outlast plastic, if carbon fiber is so great in the rc world, you would see it already in the 1/5 scale world in the wheels dept you would think?so far nadda, and for a set of 4 carbon wheels would be a rediculous amount,more then aluminum. I work in aluminum diecast plant, and make tons of parts for ford/gm/chrysler, aluminum is very strong...hell we are making prototype brake rotors/brake calipers for a company out of aluminum but you didn't hear that from me.[X(]

yes if they fit on the buggys they would be well worth the $100 since plastic stock wheels are atleast half that.. Please let us know if they do fit..Thanks

Friend at maaco painted it with car paint I dont bash with this shell

OHHHHHHHHH yea these rims do fit the hammer/ traveller

ORIGINAL: FG Perf RC

It will fit the Firehammer with no problem and for the FG offroaders you have to change to the CNR uprights and install sedan arms because they are sedan wheels

I would have to agree? The RamTechs i have are much thicker.

There is more to the picture than you know. MSRP is also not the street price.
