Xray XB2 / XB4 tires/wheels, over $275 worth of parts!
Up for sale are 10 pairs of JConcepts tires mounted on Xray Aerodisk rims for the XB4 4wd buggy. With the exception of set #7, all 9 other sets have AKA red closed-cell inserts. This is over $275 worth of tires/wheels/inserts, plus you’d still have to mount them
Also, JConcepts Dirt Webs are very difficult to find as they are currently on national backorder.
I’m meticulous with my tires. I always cleaned both the tire mounting bead and wheels with motor spray prior to mounting the tires to ensure that they were free of mold release agent. I also used medium Losi Tread Lock glue as I’ve always had great luck with Losi glue. The medium takes longer to dry vs. the thin, but it provides a much stronger bond.
When the tires were not mounted on my buggy they were always cleaned and stored in sealed bags. I used Xray Aerodisk (white) wheels exclusively as I read somewhere that Xray worked with AKA to specifically dial in the flex characteristics of the wheels. I used AKA red closed cell inserts exclusively for all of these tires (with the exception of set #7) as they are widely viewed as the best available.
Here is what included (note that the numbers in this list correspond to the numbers in the photos) . Also, the fronts (#’s 6-10) look wide/big in some of the photos only because of the extreme close-up nature of the photos):
