wiggy2k7 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Im thinking of getting some Proline Road Rage 3.8 wheels/tyres for running my HPI trophy truggy flux on road. I've read mixed reviews on them, mainly people saying they balloon pretty bad, but ive also read reviews of people saying they hardly balloon at all. Have any of you guys used them, what did you think to them? Or can you recommend me any others? Thanks Edited June 12, 2018 by wiggy2k7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Ballooning will be all down to amount of power, speed and throttle control. You could have two guys running the same rig, one might flick the throttle between jumps on 4s and won't notice any ballooning, or very minimal, another guy might do speed runs on 6s and they might look like pizza cutters. You can belt them, but unglueing and glueing is a PITA, I'd just give them a whirl, on a lot of power, pretty much any unbelted tyre will balloon to some degree. On less power, most won't.

Check out the src road crushers. Much better imo - there's some in the fs section... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
