Exactly! Just like the clone hpi baja sc I bought/sold and the clone losi 5ive I've been looking into possibly buying. Copies, yes. Same problems, yes. Both need the same upgrades, yes. Do I give a shit that someone copies a losi and sells it for $500 less? Yes, because the $500 in savings by not buying the "brand name" has now got me $500 in upgrades.

Other than the cheap looking anodizing, nice wheels. Quite possibly the easiest bead locks I've ever assembled!

That is a fact but let's face it, the odds are good that every adult male that plays with toys isnt going to be the most manly or butch.

I went to an indoor comp once that also was home to local Dungeons and Dragons players. One of them snuck in to retrieve the pewter figurines he had accidentally left behind, and the guy next to me snickered and said "isn't he a little too old for that?". I looked at him and said "you DO realize we're here playing with toy trucks, right?".

I ordered some and I guarantee I'll like them for the price and the rig they are going on.

Quick question... Since the hole in the hub is so big, how does the wheel nut grab it? Do you just use a flanged nut? Or is there a washer?

It uses the Wraith 12mm hex adapter and the Wraith uses washer behind the wheel nut. But the flange on most 4mm wheel nuts are large enough to cover the whole in the hub. I use the washer for added security with my SSD wheels (same hub design as these China wheels).

Wraith washer is part number AXA1090.

Some men need to have more communicative and free thinking relationships and not have to hide what they spend due to a mutual respect and trust.

If you have to hide what you spend you aren't the man of the house, she is.

I have a toy buying account that she doesn't see, but she benefits from it too. When she wants something, it comes out of there. When I buy something, I tell her about it, we have no secrets when It comes to money, as long as mortgage and utilities get paid first.

If you have as many rcs as I do you learn to be discreet about your buying.. not hiding. And never let the toy money take from the real accounts

Discreet because you have few or many? I have enough that she dont know whats new and whats old. But she drives them with my son and I when hiking, so ours is a family affair which helps
