Vito are you really going to buy rims and tires? For bashing the stock tires gets the job done and they will last forever. Personally for just bashing buy the stock tires and call it a day!

I havent personally gotten one yet, I keep running into money problems... But, from what I have been hearing, It's a night and day difference.

Does anyone know if the bleed screws in the shock caps are the same size as the ones that hold the piston onto the shock shaft? I managed to drop one of my piston screws, and I cant find it and need something to get me by.

Thanks

I like them for the street and mixed driving, but I prefer the proline badlands for any kind of off road bashing.

I ran the stock hexes, with the stock rims, almost all season, until the RCPS Canadian Nats.... The day of the qualifiers was dry, hard packed, and developed into a decent blue-groove. I ran about 40 laps under these conditions without taking the wheels off. It rained overnight, so I wanted to switch to a different tire, and 3 out of my 4 wheels pulled the hex right off the pins and I had to really work at pulling them out with pliers.

The FT hexes have a set-screw that holds the hexes on, AND they won't deform if you tighten the screw down really tight. I am quite happy with my purchase of these. Much happier than my purchase of the FT pads, and they're pretty much the same price....

A few weeks ago, I had a rear wheel hex, round out and ran the stockers in the rear with my caliber in the front. Didint feel to bad either. Had the pull from the front end and the rear would slide around perfectly with enought bite to get the truck going nice and fast.

You know you can use nail polish remover (acetone) to remove the tires from the rim and try gluing again? You just need some Simple Green to make the tires soft again before you reglue them. You can use this method to reuse rims after the tires are worn out too.
