The traction increase is real. 20% increase in acceleration. They're like adding a cell. THE INNER RING IS EASILY COLORED BY METALIC SHARPIES (seriously try blue)! The lateral rigidity is just forgiving enough to allow slides when the udr would normally roll, yet while allowing that sidewall flex, it has knubs and a knurling on the sidewall that allow acceleration during said slide! Overall these added traction, suppleness and great looks to the UDR. A must have.
These are NOT 12mm hex, they are Traxxas 17mm. I even contacted Amain to confirm this was not a typo..."no these are 12mm" paid express shipping...and, they are 17mm.
I was so excited to get these and was really happy when I opened them. Then I mounted them and went straight to 1 star. First, you have to remove, in my case, detailed painted brake calipers that are already there for the wheels to fit. Not a deal killer. Then I put the body on and it looks like the tires a pro truck would have mounted to put it on a narrow trailer for travelling. They are about 1/4" narrower offset on each side and do not fill up the fenders at all on the back. If they just made a hub that moved them out to fix those 2 problems, it would be 5 stars. The hub bolts to the wheel so it would be an easy fix. They just didn't bother! The tires keep it at 2 stars because they are nice and gummy but really narrow themselves compared to stock. Kicking myself for not going with Pro-line on stock wheels. All problems solved then.
Reviewers are split on this pre-mounted tire and wheel set for the Black variant. One owner reports strong traction gains, a supple sidewall that allows controlled slides, and a good appearance, rating it 5 stars. Another owner rates it 1 star after finding the wheels use 17mm hex hubs, contrary to the expected 12mm, and says the seller confirmed the 12mm spec. A third owner rates it 2 stars, reporting that installation required removing pre-fitted brake calipers and that the wheels sit about 1/4 inch narrower per side, leaving the rear fenders unfilled. The hex size issue and the fit and offset complaint are the recurring problems, though the sample is small.
