There were 130 entries 4 heats of Mod buggy, I was TQ and finished 2nd in the main.

From what I hear you have extensive expirience (Jason told me), so if youd also like to submit a little more in depth feedback report on the tires it would be much appreciated! [email protected]

Is there any way we can make those wheels available for the Ofna CRT.5? That would certainly boost sales and people would just eat them up!

Ive got a Kyosho car.

Perhaps pictures, or a description of your local track? What tires typically work well there?

We've had a very limited number of requests for CRT .5 wheels honestly. If this changes we will look into it though.

Don't the crt wheels and rb5 wheels both accept 12mm hex's? So if rb5 wheels were released the rears would also work on the crt correct?

If we were to do RB5 wheels, we wouldnt release a rear, as Kyo offers a B4/XXX rear axle conversion.

If we get enough requests you could see something.

The people with the crt's may see if the kyosho proline axle will fit. If it does, then you can run the jc wheels, among others.

Well its just my opinion that Roll Pins suck.!!! THe hex is the way to go.. I so wish Losi and AE would stop with the silly pins..

But more importantly if you ran pins with a mod motor or brushless conversion in a crt.5 you will sooner or later burn out a rim... already happened to several people on this forum...

JConcepts.. thats silly most poeple I seen running the RB 5 around here, are running hexes...But very possible this area doesnt represent the majority.. Oh well I still got love for yah Baby!!!..

Sorry for the Rant back to The Sweet JC stuff

Not a bad idea.
