I hope not. The Rovans held up until I studded them?? Hopefully the taped foams and belted vipers last long enough for the BRP wait. Definitely not studding these? I watched a few videos with these on larger engines so time will tell i guess.

Hope they do hold out?? they work great on my twin???
I hope they work for you, all the UK lads I know that run vipers on the 5ive use 5b spikes??
Do you not have 5b super spikes on your twin like mine?

I love the super spikes. installing them right out of the package after they were folded up was a pain. much easier to install when they regained their shape

Hold up...theres different ones? Maybe that's the problem with fitment? Mine says for 5iveT though. HPI? Are the 5B wider? Are the the rears for 5b?
Yes mate the 5b are baja rears, the lads run them all round

Gotcha. Do they use 5ive wheels or 5b rear wheels?
5b rears all round

Maybe that's what I should've did? Are the 5b tires the same height as the 5ive tires? But I couldn't use my pretty aluminum wheels?
Not sure in size of the two ubers side by side ? measure yours and I'll send mine??
measure yours and I'll send mine??

I believe the baja 5b tires are 20 mm shorter than the Losi wheels, they are 170mm and the Losi /Baja 5t/SC are 190mm
Spikes are a tad taller than regular 5b wheels?

All electronics, screw kit, engine, and pipe. Everything else was there for the most part.
Did a little more wrenching today. IRP turnbuckles. The steering ones didn't come with any hardware so I have to wait to hear back from DDM.
Old bent front shock tower
How heck did you bend a shock tower ??

that shock tower looks more like a pretzel than a piece of rc kit
