lightest maxx wheel?
 
i want to find the lightest maxx sized wheel. anyone know which one is lightest? i also need them to hold up to brushless power.

According to RPM their Monster Clawz wheels are the lightest around...they are pretty light that's for sure, but I have a feeling that maybe Proline Velocity rims might be lighter? Either way, the RPM rims are EXTREMELY strong (I have some)...they're made out of the same stuff that they make their bullet-proof suspension parts from. And they look sweet too IMO.:)

Monster Claws are really lite - however - i have run them and they will crack around where the wheel nut is. There is just not enough support there for the brushless power... They do look sweet though - but im a Proline Man now......

The rpms are the lightest, but will definately crack with a heavy, powerful truck. The rpm titan wheels are still very light and a bit stronger than the claws.

what should i get for the komodo tires? i need the lightest but strong enough for BL power

RC-Monster Mike 03.20.2005 09:43 PM

i think the Proline velocity should hold up pretty well. The RPM Titans should hold up as well. It depends on a few variables, like the weight of the truck, track conditions (komodos don't have much sidewall, so the wheel take bigger hits), etc.

i got an extra set of stock wheels, how much heavier are stock than PL velos?

RC-Monster Mike 03.20.2005 09:48 PM

I couldn't tell you. I have had good luck with the stock wheels myself.

supermaxx4190 03.20.2005 10:12 PM

do you think stock would hold up better than PL velos?

RC-Monster Mike 03.20.2005 10:16 PM

tough call. I think the stock wheels are among the toughest plastic wheels available. The sportmaxx wheels are pretty tough as well. They are also lighter than the stock maxx wheels.

the stocks are holding up fine
