proline just came out with another style. Also HPI has some now as well as the junfac ones and I think Gmade makes some now as well.

ive yet to strip out a bead thread and im prtty sure a lil loc tite would cure the issue. as for the hexes again no issues yet and i drive my rig pretty hard, during testing i actually purposfully get my wheels into a bind to see how much stress they can take. actually there has only one instance ive stipped a hex. i have a ton of them from other rc stuff so i just ended up ca gluing the hexes to the tire them selves

for me the price of aluminum wheels arent the issue. i actually have had numerous sets and have always ended up selling them. i find that aluminum wheels are way too heavy for my style of driveing and i prefer to be able to fine tune the wieght in my tires.

You should think about some delrin wheels. Look in the vendors section, there are a couple of wheel manufactures that make wheels from delrin. You can get black or white and just about any style or offset. If we can help let us know.

Thanks Mayhem Eng.
