Default Revo upgrade

Would you run these on your Revo?

Not a huge fan of them myself, but if you like them then why not.

I've never been a huge fan of chrome, let alone flashy things to say the least. The pattern of those wheels look cool, however, I'd prefer them in black.

I stand corrected, they looked like chrome from only being an Internet picture IMO. I say dye them black or whatever color you think would complement your Revo in the best way. Good job on making them though, that's pretty impressive.

i'l use it but i don't like the sharpie point in the design, it will only cause a booboo particularly when cleaning it....nice piece of work though.

Dont have scales here at home...........but they are extremely light.
Probally approx .........hmm twice the weight of plastic rims..........or less
which is nothing........u can get that extra weight by just adding larger pipe............different tires...........and so on
