Nice option. Can you confirm weight of the wheel ? Thanks for any information.

I'll look into it. I can tell you now that they are very thick and weigh more. You will not break or bend them. It is also the reason that the wheel adapters that you use has a long neck so that the nut has room to lock down as it should. the wheel nut also has a ruber O-ring in it. They are lighter in weight than the 40 series aluminum wheels that RC4WD sells. these wheels are made to hold up to my Losi 5ive that weighs 40 pounds!

Nice Yeti XL option, so far every other beadlock wheel has been way too wide.

There is more to come! I have some of the orange 5 spoke wheels with the metal insert just like the Losi 5ive wheels but they have a better off-set to get a little wider stace.

I ordered 2 sets so that I hve 4 wide rims and also 4 narrow rims. I need the wide rims for the paddle tires that Im going to run from RC4WD.
I will then doa sand tire test of the best tires out. I'm pretty shure it will be the Top Secret Racing Paddles that will come out on top. I'm not counting out the RC4WD Sand Storm tires though.

If your looking to add lights then... This is what I found that holds up and doesn't break the bank!

Do you think you could weigh one of those there orange wheels with the lockrings attached. i dont care if you include the tire or not. I really like them and I am looking for a replacement wheel/tire combo. However, I do want to keep weight down.

thanks

I don't have a proper scale to weigh the rims and tires.

[Dextroyer]

I bought a set of Rok Lox to put on the XL but I thought they were way too big to really run on the rig without steering into the body. Maybe I should just glue them up to the kit wheels after all!

[twissted]

I don't have that problem with this wheel/tire combo. I also use a Summit transmission in this build so gearing is good also.

[twissted]

This is my favorite tire and wheel combo. The tires don't need foam inside due to the stiff side walls. The 1/5 Rovan 5 spoke beadlock (rear) wheels also have the wheel back space that makes these wheels work so well.

Your looking at thw 2 best sand paddle tires in 1/5 scale! The rc4wd paddle is narrower and also taller. I have them mounted on 1/5 front 0 offset rims. And the very best is the wider and shorter Top Seceret Racing paddles.
