Cracked a rim on these proline badlands mx43s. Only ran once for maybe 10mins ended with a bad crash, must’ve never noticed the rim busted. Luckily my LHS has them on sale for $44.99 so I’ll have a spare once I replace the cracked wheel🤘👌

Horizon Hobby for the win! 😉

Sorry. I couldn't resist. That's terrible. The last thing that should break in a crash is a damn wheel. I've smashed bulkheads, arms, chassis, etc. But back in the day especially, I rarely cracked a wheel. Especially one with an inch of rubber and a tite foam protecting it.

Haha! No worries, first time I've tried these tires and I really like them! Just noticed the crack today after installing upgrades to my rig.

I agree! That should be the last part to break on any RC. Genuinely surprised it cracked because as you said it has so much protection. Guess it was just an unlucky crash… just glad my LHS has them on sale because I was about to buy rims for the same price as the whole setup!
