Kraton Fireteam wheels

[Myster_E]

Need new wheels. Don't like the look of backflip LP's. Hate that star shaped wheel.
Anyone use the Fireteam wheels? They look sweet but I'm worried about ballooning with that massive sidewall.

I personally really like the Fireteam tires
I run them on my XLWB builds
I use them on hard and loose dirt
Great for evasive maneuvers!

They have pretty good cushion when jumping
Don’t ballon much at all

That's what I wanted to hear!

Your front left tyre is on the wrong side..!! I don't like directional RC tyres, but I fancy trying the Fireteam ones..

I didn’t know they’re directional

How do you tell if a tires is directional?

And could I cause any damage to something running them wrong

TIA

Probably wouldn’t “hurt” anything but it might track a little funny, especially on cement or gravel. Should be arrows on there telling you which way. Sometimes they are hard to see

Thank you sir!

They do look a bit big for that talion but with the higher body on the kraton they look good!

I am convinced now. That's what I'm gonna get. Thanks for the photos!

I really want a set of FT tires but not at that cost.

Not too bad at Jenny’s… https://jennysrc.com/collections/fi...s-blx-tires-wheels-dboots-glued-black-ara7618

 

[Myster_E]

Is that in USD? I've never shopped at Jenny's before.

HATE the look of the FT tires... BUT damn they perform well on the FT to what all said above about the tire itself....will buy a second set for a backup. They do perform well I must say!

 

[Myster_E]

Can someone tell me if the tires are vented from the factory?

 

[Myster_E]

Never mind. A quick google told me they are.

They're well vented no need for more vents.

My wheels should be here by Friday. Getting excited! Problem is I'm waiting for a diff seal too. Hopefully that comes in at the same time
