Anyone into R/C?

I haven't unbolted them to see if they make a difference in general, but being all aluminum, they're pretty light overall.

Definitely no brass or extra weight placed anywhere as these are not a performance axle.

 

Groovy. Spidertrax is right here in Loveland, Colorado. I've been to the shop where they make these (1:1 size) and their spacers. They are a customer. Pretty cool operation.

 

Status just changed to "out for delivery" I fly back home after work today for the weekend.

 

Bought a buggy chassis from RC Speedy for my Scx6. Cage is Ti with aluminum body panels. Put a little polish on the panels to clean them up.

 

@Strictlytoyz

Make sure to get on that pre-order!

Ordered an

$73 RS100 (A: Champagne)

RS100 in blue to match the axles.

 

Stop making me spend moniessss! Gonna blow all this trip per diem on rc parts

Hey, I ordered it now you have to as well!

 

Was gonna say cling ons are cheaper but nevermind, it includes wheels

And they look good too!

 

Good price for a set of wheels and tires, probably the same molds and compound as the Injoras

 

2FM RC did a review on them that's just 4 months old. I won't post the video here due to some content.
He seemed to like them, but his test was with the Echo chassis, which is long. He did bitch quite a bit about the Echo, and some Facebook bs, so it's worth watching for that too. He was on a rant for sure.
Jconcepts makes another called the Rupture. Expensive.

I'm not really sold on them anymore after using pins.
Finding pin tires in a 64/63mm range is darn near impossible.

 

Ruptures seem to get mentioned quite often in the groups, specifically when talking comps.

I need to put more miles on my own tires before I go trying other shit

Pins I just got are like 72mm

 

Pin tires come in the oddest sizes. I get being narrow, but what's up with the over and under heights?
This is what I originally bought and lucked out with them as they have outperformed everything else.

They do have tiny pin type tread on the lugs. Seems to be Amazon's #1 in sales too.
Maybe this is the pinnacle in performance.
The 60mm XHX have the same grip, but drag diff. I'd like to see them in a 63mm.

 

Yeah so I ended up with 72mm pins for the 1.3 wheels that should arrive next week.

But I was also on that whole back and forth with finding pins in a size I want and not 60mm (for 1.0's) cause why would I want to go smaller

Are you cutting your tires at all? I hear the comp cut is the most common for real serious traction.

Looks like this -



And for some, that's after trying other cuts too like these -







Most end up going back to the comp cut.

 

I have seen those, not at that level of obsession just yet though..
Injora has them in a 65x19mm. They just look reaallly tall being that skinny.
1mm is giving me fits of ocd.

 

I tell you what, order one for me and I'll cover shipping

 

I ordered it a few hours ago, can't add a second one anymore

 

Sounds like you just don't want me to have one

 

Welllll shit, I guess Hard Park just quietly removed the carbon fiber BOA mount for the LGRP Super8 axles which sucks.

That was the only reason for contuing my Dementor build.

Went to their site and noticed that a shit ton of stuff was restocked but suddenly the CF BOA is gone.

 

I have the old-style 65mm 1.0 Pins which are meh at best and I've taken out of rotation, but the 60mm HXH 1.0 Pins remain my absolute favorite. The 1.3 73mm HXH Pins are killer but agreed they are a super strange size, I'm holding out hope they do 65mm HXH Pins for 1.0s sometime soon.
