Alloy rims and tires
 

How many people in this forum would like to own a set or 2 of these bad boy rims???? Tiny tells us if we can get enough people interested in them that they'll carry them in the parts shop.... (great idea in my opinion)

One of tinys main concerns is that the installation will be too difficult since the site has a " for pros only " disclaimer.
I am speaking from experience, and these are easier to install than the full size wheel mod. I believe this will be the hottest mod for a while cause of the upgraded performance you will see after installing them. So if anybody would like to see these in the parts shop post in this thread, and let tiny know

Here's a pic for ya...

I would love for my bit to have those.....but so is installtion just like u open up ur car and drop em in....? or is there a lot of work due...?

I'm new to modding bits, I would love to see these rims in Tiny's parts department. The only question, how much would it cost? How many types of rims are available?

Yeah rims are sick dude......that would be rad if tiny had em here

I'd definately be in for a set or two.

All I want for Christmas is my 4 alloy rims and tire. Count me in for at least 2 sets and maybe more.

These are fairly easy to put on your car. You will need a piece of metal stock for your new axle and super glue. That's it.
The body will need the front wheel wells trimmed up a bit so the wide wheels can turn properly. (very easy)

There are 10 styles currently available

i want white 7 or 8 spoke rims for my car

All rims come unpainted. If you want them white you'll have to paint them. The good part is that if you mess up painting them you can strip the paint with thinner cause they're metal.


silla

what about different patterns???

There are 10 different styles out as of now...

anyway i can see which ones they have???

go to http://www.bitcharg.de/

then skip the intro. Click on TUNING on left frame. The it will expand and click on ALURADER and boom there they are!

i want the street sport and bit sprinters!!!!!!!!

I have the street sport in the pic above, and the BBS 4 LOCH on my wifes car..


silla

How do they go on???

Also you could look here

ok you must first seperate your gear of choice from a spare axle. then you either order some bare knuckles off the german site, or pry the wheels off your own. now go to your local hobby store, and pick up some wire stock for the new axel you're going to create. glue the german wheels (w/german slicks already on) along with your gear on to the stock, so it looks like a tomy axle. all you need to do after that is slighty trim your body with a dremel, and pin your front wheels together. ask any questions to the master himself, payaso.

cool
 

around january if these are for sale, id buy a few sets, maybe more :)

these are very slick, now if only they had plastic ones that size (for weight reasons).

thanx for the viper idea steve!:D

Re: cool
 

The alloy rims weigh in at a whopping 2.7g (all 4 rims)
Plastic would just get tore up in time, and you only save maybe .5g in weight. weight to durability ratio is great with alloy....


silla

i would be interested in a couple of the rims! I'll even pay more for some rims already fit into a bit char-g axle.

how much is a set gona be?

good point payaso
 

I thought the weight would be a bit more than that, heh now im gettin all excited, well gotta get my blasted sttering knockes disassembled first.....

anywho i can pull .5 g of weight by shaving the inside of my car's body. doors, hood, roof.....met mr dremel :D


actually a kit for the wheel mod would be great. maybe 2 sets of wheels, a tomy axle kit, steering knuckle kit and 2 sets of tires. That way you could have a full set of gears with mounted tires for your bit.

Hey Tiny,

Yes, please get these! I'd get 2 or more sets. ;)

payaso, you rule! Thanks to binaryterror for the rim pics!:D

Welp tiny, looks like you can sell out the first day. I want at least 4 more sets... Let's hope this happens...


Thanks to everybody for responding so quickly......


silla

I'd buy some of those Rallye sports, they'd look sweet on my CHP car :D

again this looks really cool. what is pricing gona be like?

a cncd muffler looks really cool but not 12bucks cool.

id be willing to pay maybe 8$ for this unassembled.
maybe 12 assembled.

At least 5 sets for me...

I agree, but unlike the alloy mufflers, these actually improve the performance of the car. The muffler will not.
The price from the site is 14.90 Euro Dollars $13.00 and some change US.
I don't know how much tiny will offer them for, but I'd be willing to pay a little more ordering in the USA from a place I trust...


silla

how are these gona improve performance? id think that with heavier wheel weight they would be a little slower off the line.

**added note** that would be fine if it looks extra dope.

they add performance because they are very wide, plus the tires you order off of that site are wide and have tons of traction. these 2 factors will definitely improve handling

Exactly right pojo. Plus on another side note, if you do a full size wheel mod on your car(which people do for looks and performance) The wheels weigh 2.2g (all 4) while the alloy ones weigh 4.4g (all 4)

Ok, there's 2.2g difference right? Some people (including myself) will add 1 or 2 extra batteries for performance adding all that extra weight. You have to look at it like this, will the pros out weigh the cons, and with alloy rims and extra batts, the answer is yes.
These wider tires help more than you could imagine. My car with these rims on it weighs 24.2g, while a stock bit weighs in at 23.3. (don't know where the extra gram went, but the scale doesn't lie) my car with the alloy rims runs better, faster, and straighter than any other car I have...

I'm running out of closing techniques....lol you gotta be sold now.


silla

well count me in also...I'm form europe but I don''t like very much the idea ordering from the german site so I would be interested to shop from tiny...

SO get the wheels!!!!
If the made it for about 15 bucks I'm in....

(The postage is minmum because of the low weight+small size...
(1 bit kit weights around 10 set's of alloys+slicks so shipping is nothing...)

GET THEM...GET THEM...GET THEM....


P.S:Great idea...(Tiny before ordering contact me because I might can get them from a better source arounf 9-11 $...it might be nothing but I believe it could help..)

oh come on how can you not be sold at this point?? maybe there are some idiots out there who would rather hand craft thier own rims out of that extra pipe in the basement!

I already posted here saying some crap but i feel it did not affect you all enough.........................so i just wanna say that i am all for the rims around the world movement where we give min rc rims to kids all over the world who can not afford them.............
VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

please Payaso can you post some pictures showing how to put those rims step-by-step, i think this will be helpful for all of us :)

eh, id only buy them if they had some low profile tires..those tires are hideous....looks like fat drag slicks instead of rims

and i also hope tinyrc has the auldey parts for sale soon..;/
