Are Pro-Line 26mm rims good?

Any experience with these?

Thanks.

I Have To Agree Proline Is A Top Notch Producer Of Rc Products So There Should Be No Doubt With There Products

Are you talking about the Proline Gumby's that come with the kit? The white ones like these on my car?

If you are, they are fine. I went through over a dozen sets of rubber tires before I started using foams for racing. Proline makes a great product. Can't go wrong with them.

Is that the new mazda body? That is a pimp azz roof scoop. How did you make it?

 

[Diver6127]

That is the Vauxhall body by protoform. The roof scoop was purchased from Ramtech, here on rcnt. I ordered it in raw aluminum and did a highspeed polish on it at work. Works pretty well and keeps my temps down by about 10-15 degrees. I don't use it anymore since it's not allowed when racing. It was great when I was messing around at the park.

Go to the Ramtech forum on the site. It's also on their website. Click HERE to go to their site. It's calle a "ram-air hood" on their site.

I am talking about these: Pro-Line White Speed 10, 26mm Rims. Will I be able to dye these?

 

[Diver6127]

Those are fine. Since they are white plastic, you can dye them with RIT dye. Just follow the directions on the package.

As with any spoked, plastic rim, just be carefull of the boards if you are racing or divits and ruts when running at the lot. If hit hard enough and enough times, the spokes will break.

 

[igorkv]

Thanks. What is alternative - plates?

 

[igorkv]

I mean dish?

 

[Diver6127]

Dish is the strongest simply because there's no voids. Honestly though, if you're going to be in a parkinglot, anything will be fine since there's no boards to hit. As I said, just watch out for divits in the tarmac. If you were racing, you would most likely be using foams and there's so many to choose from (designs) but dish is still the best choice for strength and aerodynamics (less turbulance ... so they say).

 

[igorkv]

ok. I understand.
Are there foam tires not mounted on rims?
Are thet trued?

 

[Diver6127]

The foams are premounted. It's up to you to true them, if you want, to the size you want. If you are just messing around it's not important to true them. They usually come in the 63mm range. I don't true my tires.
