best wheel upgrade?

[jaybob]

hi guys. i got my new batteries at the weekend and had my first bash with 6s power...crazy fast and sketchy to handle due to tyres ballooning badly at full throttle.
what wheels/tyres are you guys running to avoid ballooning issues? are belted best for this kind of problem? as usual any input is appreciated thanks.

Check out offerings from RPM or Duratrax, Duratrax sells mounted sets for many different terrains, tire choice is dependent on what type surface you are running on... you will still have a ballooning effect, but if you mount a set yourself there are youtube vids that can help you along with belting your tires using a variety of methods

i love the 4s or 6s backflip lp from arrma...cheap, they perform, and don't "excessively" balloon

only issue is the offset is not 1/2 inch like other brands so they sit closer in

I’m running these, hard compound compared to hpi phaltlines,
Havnt had any issues with ballooning

Also come with metal hex insert moulded into the back of the rim

Hey Sparky, you got a link to where you got these wheels from, like the look of them but can't seem to find them anywhere. Searched Bigfoot Tactical but didn't come up.

No worries Sparky found them on Aliexpress.

Here they are, but the price has increased slightly since I got mine

Thanks Sparky, found the link in the end but ended up getting a set of these instead. Haven't got the metal hex inserts but liked the size of them, will see what they're like when they arrive.
