Wanna try those backflips but it's $22 for shipping $32 of wheels. It's $1.29 to ship the choons

Here's the backflips & choons

My link is cheaper. And yours are smaller. I think the ones you linked to are Backflip LPs.

My question is why do these come with 12mm hexes?

I searched for alternatives for around 30 min. Only thing I saw was free shipping, just added to the price.

Nah I was looking at the 6s ones thanks!

Those are the 6s ones, but I just noticed the ones I posted earlier are 4 cents cheaper at least on my end.

I love the flexibility of the molds for the smaller scale adapter, wish I would’ve thought of that

2/3/4S rigs trying to run big tires, then you sell ring and pinions/slippers to maximize profit margins

Pretty annoyed with choons right now. Just opened a pack, put 4 new ones on my stretched typhon and hit the throttle. Next thing I know 3 tires roiling down the parking lot. ALL 4 UNGLUED!!!! should definitely start checking them from now on.

 

[Moirae]

I ordered these already for the Felony.
They actually come with the correct bigger tire in the rear.
They come unglued. Haven’t had a chance to try yet. Just waiting for glue to cure. Will report back.

Haha man all my other choons came glued except the new sets I just bought. I wonder if they're just not gluing them anymore? A warning would have been nice

I’ve been meaning to test out the Ali express felony tires but something’s been holding me back.

I've started going out at night which works for me but sucks if you gotta wake up early or something haha. I be salty when it's like 75f at 10pm. How is it still that hot without a sun?!?!

It hasn't been over 84 here yet this year. Humid but not hot yet. Feel bad for you guys that live in really hot areas. I think I'd be movin if I had to deal 100-120 every summer! I'm jealous of the snow you get in the winter though

one man's trash is another's treasure! I hate that snow

There’s nothing better than snow bashing!

The clean up after is nightmarish! getting chunks of ice out of every crack and crevice. I be scared to just let the trucks sit there and melt. I don't know how fast rust happens

1. Silicone spray on sensitive areas/bearings (not electronics)
2. Bash
3. Air compressor over entire car
4. Prop upside down in garage
5. Point big fan at it overnight

A little extra work but snow bashing is so much fun. Bearings wear a little faster but not too bad. Haven’t had issues with rust or damage to electronics.

All that said, my nicest rigs don’t see snow.

I used to stick mine in front of my baseboard heater.

Would not recommend these , will reuse tires as they grip well.
