 |
|
I tried searching the topic and couldn't find anything. If it exists, I'm sorry can I have the link? If not I guess I can start with what little I have.
Can someone please tell me how much the stock gt2/warlock tire and wheel combo weighs?
hpi Warlock/Dirt Bonz, (stock X SS) 214g
hpi Terra Pin (stock XL 5.9) 314g |

Thank you for that.
I wasn't expecting them to be that heavy, adding 12 ounces of unsprung weight is a lot. |

I like those Big Joe tires. Is the weight difference noticeable?
I'll be going from the Dirt Bonz to the stock 4.6, 214g to 300g. |

| Dunno. I just bolted them about an hour ago. Gotta figure out why my truck is eating spur gears tomorrow and hopefully get to try the tires out. |

| Yes, the added weight is very noticeable and the steering with the stock servo and the big joes sucks. Steers like a boat. |

Glad I did at 65gms per corner saved. |

Great idea! When I was in the market for wheels and tires I really needed this. It will be a big help for people. Also, if anybody has the tire or the wheel alone, it will be great to weigh just that. :)
I got 2 different readings on Axial 8 spoke's; 116g and 124g
Next up, 40 series Mashers with Axial 8 spoke's: 399g
Aaand just for the reference, and to add a picture, I got the same reading on the Terrapins. 312g

Yeah the Dirtbonez are hard to beat. I notice an improvement in performance when going back to them. |

I haven't glued my Mashers yet, I'll get the weights.
My rims are pretty consistent in weight but I've noticed the tires can be +/-5
Here are the 2 hpi rims only 5.2 grams apart but the same rims with Mashers are 8.8 grams apart, meaning two of the same tires are 3.6 grams apart.
Hpi 8 spoke 3.2 59.7 grams
Hpi warlock 3.2 54.5 grams

| Phenomenal thread, should be sticky'd indeed. I wish this data was available in the forum when I was acquiring tire & wheel combos for the Savage. |

Thanks, I hope it can help people with tire wheel choices too.
Not sure how to sticky or if that is something a mod probably does. |
