Pics of the Elcon Wheels Mounted

[DemonRC1]

My Ramtech adapters came in so I figured I'd mount up the Elcons to see how they fit. The Ramptech adapters sure give the buggy a nice stable wide stance. The Elcons already have quite a few runs on them. The foam and rubber are very good quality. I'll post comparision pics of the stock tires with the Elcons below in a reply.


Oh and yes, they freaking hook up!


P.S. Notice picture #2 from the side. Redcat sends the bodies out with the gear cover hole uncut. If your gonna run the belt drive when we release it you can leave it closed off since it'll clear the body no problem.

They look nice! Ugghh I shoulda sent ya a wing too! That yellow....


Im probably gonna go the Baja front route, if I cant get some decent foams for the stockers. The stock wheels/tires are great, its a shame the foams are so bad in them.

It really does look better with the wider stance.

Cant understand why manufacturers still use that piece of .... square drive if it is prven not to last!!!!! a future V2 should come with 24mm hexes

I wonder why nobody has bothered with a 2 piece wheel where the center hub is aluminum and the wheel bolts to that central hub. I would be a good design in my opinion and would look cool as poop. I'll do something up in 3D one day to show you guys what I'm talking about.
