Default JC Ball cups

Is anyone selling the new JC ball cups?

Qestion, what are the advatages of the new JC Titanium axles over the standard JC axles? Are the standard ones known for breaking or is it a weight thing?

Thanks!

Going through production and packaging; hopefully soon.

Hi, question!
Just bought a set of 1/8 buggy wheels, part number 3303, and they are small!
Smaller than the rest of my wheels, and too small to properly fit my proline tires
Please help! Thanks!
Yes; this wheel is actually the correct size that was the industry standard many years ago, but over time all the manufactures have made their wheels much bigger for better performance. The tire size never changed because the larger wheels with the standard tire size gives a much tighter fit and stiffer sidewall. If you want the "current" industry standard size then it's part #3302.

any bodies in the works for the mbx6 eco or mbx7 eco
Not at the moment.

I was looking to order a Titan in the lighter thickness for stock racing. On the JC website it prompts you to pick a thickness, but there is only the HD option available. Is that just a web mistake or are the "lighter" versions not avail. atm?
Not available yet; not sure of the ETA right now.

Mainly just a weight thing, but also a "bling" thing as well .

Don't think the Ball-Cups have shipped to dealers yet.

Is there a conversion or a way to make the new Rips tires and Hazard wheels fit a Losi XXX-SCB?

I believe PL makes a conversion kit to make it hex front wheels. You then could use our losi Hazard wheel and cut the inner bead off the wheel and mount the Rips up.

I can't really confirm all this, but it should be possible.

I got a shock stand today from A main and it has no holes for the shocks.. I find that weird considering it's a shock stand? Is this normal or did I get one that is defective? If I knew I had to drill my own holes I would have ordered a different one.

I believe you make the holes so the shocks you have fit. I'm sure they do that, no holes, because of the many different sizes of shocks out there right now.

Yes you need to put your own holes in. They could have made holes for you but then there would have been the need for and 1/8 scale specific, a 1/10 scale specific and a 1/10 with big bores specific shock stand. All you need is to use a reamer and open up the holes to the proper size for your application.
