Those look good with the Traxxas tire. I got these a while back for my trailer. I think they are the same thing. Ford F350 was orange and black so did the rims the same way. Just mentioned if you want to paint them they change the look a lot in my opinion.

That does look like them. I figured I try them for the price. Something like $25 for all 4 isn't a bad deal. I like the color in the rim. I want to get scale 2.5 bolts to put covers on

I am lucky to have to LHS like this
There is a back room that has all the stock parts that I haven't seen but I am told by the employees it is packed solid and you need to take a phone in case you get buried under the parts

I went with CMBSCX10 actual XJ setup I think it turned out really awesome

I've been to this store. Like carpetfuzz says, this place is packed! I thought it looked familiar in the pics but the Traxxas tower confirmed it.

I live in Northeast Ohio and we just don't have anything nearly as good as this. So when traveling, I look for new hobby shops in other towns to check out. I've been too many, many stores over the years, but Hobby Express in Cranberry is one of the best. I made the first trip to there about three years ago, and have managed to go a couple of times a year since.

What I love about Hobby Express is they have lots of scale and crawler parts, which in my experience most LHS' do not have. I stopped at this store for the first time three years ago and was blown away. I was there for over two hours scrounging around. They have so much stuff it is literally spilling off of the shelves. Some of their inventory has been their for years. My last time through I scored a bunch of NOS Pro-Line parts for a Traxxas E-Maxx project I was working on.

I was last there a couple of weeks before Christmas when I conned my wife into driving to Pittsburgh to get something she wanted from Ikea instead of shipping it. Of course, it would've been a crime not to swing over to Cranberry and look for some stocking stuffers for me.

Great store!

True that you can spend hours there looking through the racks I do. You never know what you are going to find as the just don't order 1 they order several. The day I was there they were opening up a RC4WD box that had 12 ARB TRX4 diff cover in it. Then it was on to the box that had all the beadlock wheels in it.
All I can say is if you get a chance stop in if you are in Western Pa area. They are very easy to get to as there is a large interstate change 1 minute up the road. In a large plaza with a women's clothing store next door so you can shop while the lady in your life can shop too
Oh yeah by the way the Traxxas stack is solid through no wasted space in the middle it is packed solid.

Here is another one of my finds at the LHS the other day working on getting it all wired up
I have a couple of other great items that scored while I was there one of which is going to cause me to do another build least I know where I can get parts hahahaha

I now have the winch wired up with the wireless remote. Everything works just like it should. The front tray makes it nice for mounting extra components.

Thanks buddy It's that OCD RC thing kicking in. I hate rat nest of wires makes things look sloppy. I was just redoing some wires actually to get a better looking finish. Everything is working perfectly. Lights and winch and rear taillights.
