Love these wheels! Can definitely feel a difference with the foam ribbing. Tires seem to mount firmer and have less wiggle/movement when racing.
These would not fit on my Team Associated RC8B3e hexes. I had to use a dremel tool to make them fit and they are still super tight. Only 3 stars.
I use these wheels exclusively now. Well made and light. Balance well. I used the different colors for different compounds so I don't have to try and find the little dots on the sidewall anymore (which inevitably wear off). I grab green or black or whatever and I know what it is. Works for me, anyway.
Nice, stiff buggy wheels. First time buyer but i'm impressed. Will Buy again for sure. Mounted some proline tires in them with 0 problems using protek medium ca glue.
Got myself some black wheels to stand out in the sea of white and yellow wheels. Seem like good wheels, spin pretty true and were easy to mount tires on. I love that DE Racing makes wheels in other colors than white or yellow. If these hold up to normal use/abuse, I will definitely be back to try some other colors.
Reviewers generally rate these black 1/8 buggy wheels highly, with most describing them as well made, light, stiff, balanced and easy to mount tires on. Several note the foam ribbing and glue catch help tires seat firmly and reduce movement, and one reviewer used Pro-Line tires with Protek CA glue without problems. Colour coding was praised by one owner as a way to identify tire compounds. One reviewer reported that the wheels did not fit Team Associated RC8B3e hex hubs and needed modification with a Dremel tool, though they remained tight. Durability under normal use was not yet established by reviewers.
