JC's are similar to Proline's. I wonder if we are getting the same amount of steering throw? When at full lock, the arm on the steering knuckle is touching the C-hub. My rims were rubbing the inside end of the arm at the nipple for the hinge pin! Both are LPR half offset and you can see the black rub-line around the hex. Even the stock wheels rubbed. The only way I found to avoid this was either to have less steering or to extend the hubs! You might not be getting the max out of your steering or you have rubbed the corner end of the arm down without realizing! I shall slap on a pair PLHO's with the HoBao standard wheel hex's tomorrow to be certain.
This has more steering than my 8ight buggy!!!

I use the +2's to keep the rims from rubbing on the end of the arm where the hinge pin bubble is. In the pictures you can see the black rub marks on the rim!
I can turn inside 8 T's, Mugen's, and Jammin's all day! Chris who runs my LHS, was laughing during last weeks main because I was getting everyone one the inside! I was doing it clean too! I've just started racing and this truggy has me very excited for this season. I love the building part of the hobby, and I'm always fiddling with how to make something work better. There isn't much you need to do to the HoBao to improve it! Just a few minor things.

When your suspension is at full droop, like when you have it up on a stand, that's when the knuckles will rub on the arms! Removing material from the arm where it comes into contact with the knuckle is just a little extra reassurance that it won't happen while your racing! There are some turns, such as a table top hairpin, that might require you to go full steer while airborne so you immediately turn when you land! It really helps when nothing is binding when you suspension is at full travel.
The extenders are so the rims don't rub the end of the arms!

hey I bought some Jconepts half up rims for my hyper and I want to fit badlands to them, has anyone tried this before?? I have test fitted them and they seem to work best when you put the tyre bead on the INSIDE of the inner ridge of the rim. Also the stock proline molded foams dont seem to stretch too much, so I will probably use some Savage foams i have lying around.
I have read somewhere about people cutting the inner bead off the tyre to make it fit.

You'll find the roll-bars here.

You can find pretty much everything for the Hyper ST on that website. As for paddle tyres, I have no clue.
