Are you sure? I got it from a guy on rctech that had no pics about 1 yr ago...

Seems to be about the same offset as the 420 wheels, but I prefer the spoked look. A buddy gave me the wheels and tires in trade for a set of the same 40 series bowties mounted on 14mm dish wheels. I need to reglue them and balance them out. Got the 23mm CEN hexes coming, so the muggy will have some fresh shoes on it soon enough.

Are you sure you weighed them correctly? It just seems very light for a 40series wheel/tire combo. I believe you weighed the 40 series wabash/crimefighter combo @230grams? The stock weigt is 330grams. So I could save 400grams on rotating mass vs the stock setup?

Yup, that was it. I talked to the guy about it but you already had dibs. I got interested in them after bdebde posted his up. It's no biggy, I was just jacking with you.

I will weight them again, and weigh all 4 to make sure that it is not a fluke. The 0 offset is not the same as the losi 420 wheels. They look closer to a 1/2 offset. I will be buying some more proline wheels in half offset and we will see how they do. The O offset look good with the boltons on a savage that I have, not too wide.

You have a good memory... I can barely remember my own name sometimes...

just wondering how the mmm is holding up in the muggy with the 1521, the 2200kv was not a good fit which i knew but pushed it around great, but the speed control could not handle it, im waiting on my replacement so i can try the medusa 36-80-2000kv which unsullied spy is having goot results with just a bit on the hot side due to gearing. also what does your truck weigh completed, im at 13.5lbs with the rollcage
