Looking to get some wheels for the Dex410, any thoughts on what is better, either the dish or spoke.

Looking at the JConcept Rulux (assume it's 3306 and 3307 that's required).

I suspect in dry conditions it won't make a lot of difference, but if it's wet do you get more clogging of the wheel with dirt with either a spoke to dish style.

They are a different offset

Thanks for the information, so I assume it's better to stick to the TD dish wheels.

I would stick the the Durango wheels, I found mine handles odd when using the JConcepts wheels.

I'm still looking for ways to bling up the Durango wheels, at the moment I'm going for chrome stickers but I wonder if I could get a more all round chrome finish. I reckon just spray on chrome would come off easily so I'm looking for other options.

what difference does the offset make to the durango handeling, standard rim vs other???

You loose 2mm each side at the front so you are running 4mm less width at the front.

I'm using the HB D4 wheels and hexes without any problems. The offset front n rear seem to be the same. No longer have to worry about stripping wheels or breaking pins.

If you do go down this route, there is a fair bit of shimming you need to do for the fronts to fit correctly.

i use the original wheels. but you can use losi,revlite and ballistic buggy wheels few sets on ebay. If you want to bling them up you can dye the wheels with "Rit" dye see youtube vids. :)

speaking of wheels and wheel dimensions, can someone get me the FRONT track width of the DEX with the durango wheels? not axle tip to tip, but wheel outer edge to edge when at 0 camber. i would do it myself, but i dont have any durango rims :blush:
