x3! I bet if you make beadlocks, RC4WD will make a tire with a lip! I'm up for some micro baja claws ;) |

Ok i think we have established the tires work with beadlocks haha give the guy a break Quote:
the delrin is a great option because i wanted a black set but didn't like the idea of just slapping paint on a nice clean aluminum wheel. and lets keep in mind these are sacrificing beadlocks for an even more scale looks.even more so than the losi and HR wheels. Quote:
Keeps an air tight seal and is easy to tear off. best of all it matches your tires. | ||

I suck at gluing shit. Id rather have beadlocks, and would spend $10 more to have them, before i would spend $10 less to not. |

Definitely understand that. sometimes the $ is worth not having a hassle. give the RTV trick a try though. its easy to not make it messy,strong enough and wont tear tires. its soft not brittle like the glue

I think that may be the case if tires were previously glued. I ordered the new Mc4x4 bare tires with these wheels and they seem to have as much lip as both RC4WD tires and a bit more than my previously glued micro claws (mc4x4 tires are also a tiny bit taller BTW ) and speaking of tire fitment as far as wanting beadlock wheels because you dont want to glue tires. with new tires i dont think you will need glue, i cant speak about the delrin wheels but new Mc4x4 trail trekker tires and RC4wd tires fit tightly enough without glue that i cant spin them on the wheel by hand. i am sure that is more torque than it will see on its own I would even say the tires fit more tightly than they do on the CAC wheels unglued previously glued micro claws spin easily on both wheels. |

I just received my wheels (aluminum) yesterday. NICE!!! They are finished with a very nice polish. Excellent craftsmanship! One of the top 3 wheels I have ever received that very close attention to detail was given. I may order the black delrins for another project. GOOD JOB!! Now I have to get some nice rubber to wrap them with! |

Its not needed, and I wouldn't pay more $ for it. but its nice to see that attention to detail for the price. after seeing these in person I wont hesitate to pick up another set in aluminum or delrin for another build some day | |

WOW! I can't stand H2's, and normally I'm not a fan of the 1/24 bodies, but... that looks really good. They're on to something with that Trekker thing. (if only I could afford some of those wheels... ) |

Finally got these mounted. I have to say that these are actually my new favorite wheel of all time. They were nice without being mounted, but once I got some nice tires on them and installed them. I really fell in love! The pictures don't do them justice! You have to see them for real to really appreciate the craftsmanship. AGAIN, GREAT JOB!!!!! I ordered some Minclow tires. I may just have to mount them on the black delrins! |
