Default RC10t4 quick change wheels?

Why do none of the pro's run the quick change wheels on their t4's?

They do... Several were at the nationals anyhow. I don't care for them cause they get sloppy so fast. After 3-4 race days they are quite a bit sloppier than standard axles.

the quick charge rears come in handy for the racers at our track because we clean our tires in a dish of water and brush. so taking the tires off makes cleaning easier and faster.

Most people that run the quick change setup on a T4 also have a GT2 and want their wheel/tire arsenal to be smaller. Saves a lot of money and time Quick change is run on GT2 because during pitstops, you have the option to change tires if track conditions are changing.

I would disagree. I have had mine for almost one full season now and they are just a snug as they were when I mopunted them up! They are very handy if you are at a big race with changing track conditions with no time for practice between heats! That and the J Concepts wheels look awesome!

I replace the hub after each event ......

Don`t get me wrong , I use um on my GT-2 because in a 30 min mains you need to switch to fresh tires all the time....

I over heard one of the Ryans tell a local guy at the Nats. that they suck and wouldnt recomend them at all.His was new just a couple runs old and was sloppy already.So he went a changed back to stock.Just my two cents worth.

When you say hub do you mean the QC hub or the main hub?
