Hey, I just got an idea. Everyone that wants some proline wheels/tires for the Half 8 post here. After we get alot of people I will send this link to Pro-line.

I agree whole heartedly. I am going to email them myself and would also encourage others to go to their web site
http://www.pro-lineracing.com/proline.html and click the contact button. This is their consumer email and we could start asking for Mini Inferno wheels.
Since they have already annouced bodies for the H8, I think the wheels and tires can't be far behind.

Keep in mind though that the H8 is still very new on the market and some companies may be reluctant to invest much till they see which way the wind will blow. I think there is tremendous enthusiasm and lots of people into the H8 already. This makes it a good market. I also think Kyosho would be in a better position to respond to requests for hopups if they weren't in the middle of dropping tower and opening their own distributor in America.
From what I have heard, the lhs folks are seeing better things already from K of America than they got from Great Planes. I am patient and I am counting on this wave to still keep building that will result in parts showing up for many things as have with brushless stuff and the alloy parts for suspension. :cool:

I would love to have some options when it came to wheels for my H8. My track is about 1/3 done and I would LOVE to test wheels/tires on the clay surface I will be using :D

Cool thread BLACKHAWK444; I would recommend that we build up a nice long petition list here before we contact them so they can see how popular of an item this would be (rather than them seeing it now w/ just a few enthusiastic posts). :)

Well, seeing that Pro-line makes alot of high quality stuff, i myself, would also like to have wheels and tires from Pro-line! :cool:

Hey hE do you think you could set that up? I think Proline would really consider making them if we all support it.

I have a contact there, so I think if we just make a long petition thread (like this one here) we would stand a good chance at getting noticed. :)

I hear ya, I had a 93 civic HB that was pretty much to the point I liked it. I also did everything myself but then I got in an accident. Now I have a coupe but its still not the same as that one car you put your own work into ya know.

You can use the trinity itsy bitsy spyder wheel adapters, or the CAW ones, or the ones that rock dragon modified to work check out the links below...

The first set of spike tires is the Losi step pin tire for the mini-t, the other set is the Pro-line bow-tie tires for the mini-t/rc18t.

The size would have to be considered 1/18th?!? ;)

They are seperate, yellow and white velocity wheels and you buy the crime fighter tires seperately. I will pull the retail prices tommorow. No link available as its on Fast serve web for dealers.

...I know i am being a pain in the a$$ here...The rims FIT the halfeight hex hub? Seperate is good...seperate makes sense...but the rims are made to FIT the stock hex's? That super duper funky wonderful if they do...And i bet the only pic is them from the front :( That makes SO much sense...A picture of a white dish wheel..lol...

...EDIT: Here is a picture of a 2.2 Crime Fighter on one of the rims anyway...It gives us an idea...I am digging the inset nut recess...

Ok, I just checked the rims are $5 and they are listed with half 8 in the description so I would assume they fit stock hexes. I am not sure if you get two or four at that price. The crimefighters are $13.00, they did not list a ETA I will call my rep tommorow and see If I can get more info.

BitHed
10-11-2005, 07:35 AM
...hmm..well lets ASSUME (without making an ASS out of U or ME :)) that 5 bucks is FOUR rims and the tires are 13 for FOUR...18 bucks for a wheel set isnt bad...Of course there IS the chance that TWO wheels is 5 bucks so thats 10 bucks and TIRES are 13 for TWO so thats 26 and thats 36 bucks for a wheel set and thats marketing suicide so i reckon they will be priced very well...

...If ONLY someone would do a RADIAL!! :mad:

Hawk
10-11-2005, 06:12 PM
Bit, checkout their website http://www.pro-lineracing.com/proline.html . Nearly all are listed price per pair. They are price sensitive to the format. Mini T tires/wheels are $12 pair but that is tire mounted on wheel. Curious to see how this turns out.
