As long as they are +8mm then yes.

+8 punisher is about your only choice & it is still pretty cab forward, just not as much. I would suggest going to the jc thread here & let PW (Paul Wynn) know you would like to see a non cab forward design. While your at it, if you like the Rulux wheels, ask him about some hex drive Rulux wheels also. I try to bing both up as often as I can w/o being too obnoxious about it

When I recently converted to hexes I mainly got avid wheels. I have several sets that the rear wheels that have cracked. Not bad enough to remove & remount (I go through tires to quickly), but bad enough so I don't plan on reusing them. I got some of the jc 2 piece wheels (yuck!), & a full set of prolines. So far the prolines are the best, but I want to try the jc 1 piece wheels.

Has anyone else had similar problems w/ avids?

Which wheels are you running & why?

Personally, I don't like the style or tight fit for the driver on de wheels. I don't like the plastic panther uses (feels like old mega blocks, soft & squishy). Aka's seem ok, but I haven't used them enough to pass judgement on them.

For wheels, I'm looking for something durable (not avids), stiff (not de or panther), light (prolines seem a little heavy, but I haven't weighed them), & preferably outy style (dished out to cover the nut like proline & avid, not jc or aka), 1/8 scale buggy wheels from the same place would be a bonus, & non-dish hex drive wheels that fit a b4.2 would be huge. By my tally, I've found problems with all the major brands of wheels. What else is out there that is decent?

I like the stock rims, I've seen a table somrwhere and they came out really good.
Also they are the lightest.

B4.2 with Reedy Mach2 17.5. Anybody running 50* in blinky class? Small track 12/13 second laps. What would be your recommendation on pinion with 72 spur.

72/29 with around 40-45 degrees of timing to start.

this is going to sound bad but i use only tlr 22 wheels on the rear of my buggy and what ever is on sale for the front

What about DE Racing wheels? Any input from anyone regarding this wheel and its strengths/weaknesses?

Thanks,
JB

We have a small track with the same lap times near us, without knowing your track layout im going to assume all thing equal and you should use 32 or 33 pinion with full timing (+/- 5.75 FDR).

I beat the crap out of my avid wheels and no cracks. So far I like them the best. I have cracked the tlr rears though. JC monos are ok, bet get dirty fast. AKA were kinda loose fitting. And I would never run spoked wheels.

Also, the rb6 wheels fit and are cheaper than the avids and many others. They seem pretty good also.

Fronts fit fine, but the rears you need to drill out the center a bit. The B4 axles are really tight on stock K wheels until you make the hole a little bigger.

I dig the Rulux wheels as well. I know dish wheels are practical, but they have no style.

they change the handling of the car. Its not just the looks you messing with. Solid wheels deflect air. spoked wheels pass it through.

Guys I had a b4.1wc with most of the .2 upgrades. I just bought a brand new true .2 and I can't get it to turn "OFF POWER". It has great on power steering. But push like a dump truck off power. Tires aren't the issue as I ran my .1 with the same tires and it was great everywhere.
I run kit box set up with the exception of avid 4 hole shock pistions 2 1.1 and 2 1.5 and then 32.5 front 30 rear. I tried going down 1mm in ride height down to 23 and it helped a little but still pretty bad.
Will softening up the front end shock wise help at all?
