wolfie1 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) I have had 2 louise tyres fail on me after the originals failed, then got a set of jconcept magmas, put tape around the foams and have had many many packs with them and they have been faultless, would say they are better than the louise tyres for lasting Edited April 22 by wolfie1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partydaz Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Them Jconcepts look well mean 😃 964 grams a wheel 😵 but suppose that's the price for mean ass wheels that take a beating, going weigh the stock ones tonight see what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 You know something, i haven’t broken anything with these wheels on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partydaz Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Stock wheels and tyres are 604g each they seem to vary in weight because the foams are disintegrating at a different rate per wheel and all I get out of one is white fluff dust when I squeeze the tyre 🤣 Closest to stock wheel weight I can find so far are these 680g I think, cannot find the spec sheet where I found that out 🙈. https://www.prolineracing.com/product/1-6-badlands-mx57-front-rear-5.7”-tires-mounted-on-raid-8x48-removable-24mm-hex-wheels-2-black/PRO1019811.html Edited April 25 by Partydaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get round to un gluing the stock set and putting my own foams in and keep them as spares. Don't feel like throwing money at another pair of traxxas kit and the same happing again, so what wheels / tyres do you guys run? and what weight are they as I am trying keep this big ol'thing as light as I can. Im running CYCLONE MFT - bought them 2024/03 - no probs so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadas Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Actually now im looking to replace my broken body - are there any good alternatives? What do you guys use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partydaz Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Traxxas make a thicker shell for the Maxx and its taken a right beating so far wonder in they make one for the X maxx 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partydaz Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hello 👋, I have been reading up on X Maxx hardened steel spurs and seems GDS make good ones but I was wondering where to get GDS spur gears from as I can only find a uk ebay seller but dont know if they are legit because seems imported from china and we all know that place is full of knock offs 🫤. Anyone know of a seller they have used before to get them off ? Open to suggestions If anyone has any alternatives to GDS I'll try them as well hoping find some that last 😀. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers My GDS one came from a Uk seller a few years ago but I suspect its the same as the Ali Express ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
