The grp tires worked great on my 3c and 6 c typhons Grip better than any tire I have used. Thanks, Amain for your quick shipping also.
(This is the review for the XM7 Compound) Pretty good tires for my V5 Typhon! I also have the XM5s, and I got these XM7s so I could do general driving around in high temps without the tires wearing down too fast. Unfortunately, the gluing job was far worse on these, and they’ve come unglued multiple times now. Once I glued them back on properly though, they work great and I’ve hit 106mph without issue.
Tires feel good when they hold up, but come unglued very easily, even on a 4s car
As with basically every brand tire I've bought in the last year, 3 of the 4 tires I bought came unglued within the first run. One, nearly all the way around. I reglued them and continued with use the next day. I'm pushing crazy power through these tires (MAX8 on 4s) and hooning around like an idiot, and I bought the hardest compound available to see if they'd last any longer than the Hoons 42/100 I had previously. Time will tell.
Very nice and worked for 5 years would buy again for my 1/8 INFERNO GT2 RACE SPEC Audi R8 LMS Red w/KT-331P 1/8 GP 4WD Readyset RTR.
Reviews of these pre-mounted 1/8 buggy tires are mixed. Many reviewers praise grip, speed and tread life, and several compare them favourably to Hoons. The most frequent complaint is that tires came unglued, sometimes within the first run or within seconds, with the XM7 compound mentioned most often; some owners reglued them and kept running them, and one reported a replacement set from the seller. Several reviewers also say glue is sloppily applied on the rims. A few reviews note fitment problems with certain Arrma models, and a few are from owners who describe the tires as performing well after a proper regluing. Reviewers mention variants XB1, XB3, XM3, XM4, XM5 and XM7, and the glue issue appears across several of them.
