wow i didnt know to do the xl conversion you would need xl bulks and diffs, i was just thinking arms and all center and drive bones...hmmm might as well just convert the xl then. Money wise its just not worth the extra dough.

I'm running them on a ERevo and love'm. The tire is med compound and the foam are pretty firm. I'm geared 68/15 so my top end is at about 40ish and I notice zero balloning. Grip like crazy off road and jump exceptional. Mine are mounted on Proline Maxx sized 23mm rims dyed black.

I have a set of these from my XL. They are great offroad. Amazing the stuff I could drive thru. Onroad is absolutely terrible. They balloon so much and the sidewalls are so big the car just begins to sway and loose control at any speed much more than 35mph.
They are 17mm rims stock btw.

The bigger outdrives and bones are nice, but are not required. If you want the ext axles that comes on the XL, then you will need to convert to the larger bones and diff outdrives.

...yes...MY brain fart...apologies all-round :) I had in my mind X to XL as opposed to FLUX to XL...Sorry...

As has been correctly stated...

X to XL needs the cups, FLUX to XL has the right bones and cups already...

SO...

air holes yes or no...I am thinking NO to keep the wheel HARDER and less rolling resistance, therefore more shock movemement too? or will they be TOO bouncy? Might solve the sidewall folding too?
