Default New Wheels?

Just got a mini juice chassis and was wondering what aftermarket aluminum or other wheels i should mount my rovers to?

Vanquish revolvers for a weighted wheel or BWD vertex for non weighted would be my choice. The BWD are a narrow wheel and give a more rounded tyre profile which I believe can help with turning tighter.

I run Losi aluminium beadlocks because I got a killer deal on them. But they are easy to weight and mount tyres to and look quality to boot.

i would say, dont go aluminum at all, except maybe for ackerman steering setup and a few other crucial parts..

+1 on the BWD Vertex!

No idea on which wheels work the best, some seem to prefer narrower wheels others wider.

Based 100% on looks the VP's get my vote

I have the Pro-Line Titus wheels and to be honest i wouldn't buy them again.
They work ok but they feel cheap and nasty and the plastic the wheels are made from is very soft, on the first assembly many of the threads stripped on the bead-lock threads.

Then to make matters worse there are 12 screws for each bead-lock

Add to the price the tuner weight kit and you could buy some bloody decent wheels for the same price.


Once i make up me mind if i'm sticking with the MRC or going XR10 i'll buy some VP's for sure.



Cheers
Mark

Im runnin cac 1.9ers i love them flipable offset to narrow your back up if needed, i added 3 oz to each front wheel and am very happy with them. Great steering with the LCC upgrade and OTA steering.

I have both the VP little harry's and the BWD wheels. You cannot go wrong with either set. I really like how narrow the BWD wheels are. It keeps the tires out of the shocks.

How are you weighting these wheels. Does BWD sell a weight set?

i actually spent the big money and bought the vp lh comps, i like the way you can add or remove weight! Darksoul has a nice set also in the vendor section, he has them on sale for 75 bucks, he said that he has them in stock!
