Happy to see ProLine giving some attention to the Revo but not so sure I am liking the idea of Beadlock rims and $40 for two premounts on the beadlocks is a bit steep.

**J.A.T.O.3.3** · 09-03-2009 09:40 PM

NICE ! That Slipstream body looks just like the larger one , me likey !

**arvint** · 09-03-2009 09:49 PM

Man..i would of bought them if they werent pre mounted..

**zrau17** · 09-03-2009 09:53 PM

im sure you can find just the rims somewhere. i think squirrel has a how to with those beadlocks.

**danielhr77** · 09-03-2009 09:57 PM

$40 a pair??? Come on!!! Paid $50 for the ones from the ERBE, including 17mm hex...

**microAMD** · 09-03-2009 10:02 PM

those paint looks fugly.. they should re-paint it...

**lanek99** · 09-03-2009 10:09 PM

yeah they are a little pricey, tower is going to sell them for 35.99

**lanek99** · 09-03-2009 10:12 PM

I like them, but I cant decide between these or the little larger pre-mounted 30 series dirt hawgs which are only half an inch taller and $25 cheaper for the 4

**TheMajekalBum** · 09-03-2009 10:15 PM

Well you can buy just the rims...found a set at my LHS today and picked em up...$60 for the set...and i went in just to get some ca to glue my stockers back on in a few spots...$4 turned into 180 very quickly...but anyways..yes you can get just the rims

EDIT: After looking at the pics I realized I dont have those beadlocks...i have some diffrent prolines....the 2.2" Epic Slash Wheels from proline, I like how they look more then the above wheels

Nice! I definitely like the wider stance....What tires are those?

**zrau17** · 09-04-2009 01:07 AM

stock talons...

**TheMajekalBum** · 09-04-2009 01:33 AM

they would be the stock talons as stated above

after 180 of stuff i "had" to have i couldn't justify any new rubber...yet. The rims are the same width of the stock one but they have more negative offset. So it's a bit wider of a stance and i can open my battery dorrs without hitting my tires. The cherry on top...the screws use the t handle driver you get with your mini, I'm happy with my investment!

**MrGrimxX** · 09-04-2009 07:24 AM

Holy batman, I know what Im buying next.
Dirt Hawgs and Slipstream... lol

**lanek99** · 09-04-2009 08:20 AM

Well, after looking, I think the buggy dirt hawgs are pretty much the exact same thing, they are 3.5 inches tall and e-revo ones are 3.6 and the tread looks exactly the same. You can pick up the buggy version for $10 a pair...

I wonder if they just took some buggy tires and mounted them on the titan rims they use for rock crawlers and then charged a few extra dollar from what you could buy them separately

**DaDOOD** · 09-04-2009 02:29 PM

Just got the Dirt Hawgs(buggy), all I need now are these rims.

Thanks for the link

**arvint** · 09-04-2009 02:34 PM

What rims will the dirt hawgs mount on, that work for the MERV?

**JatoTheRipper** · 09-04-2009 02:43 PM

EWW! I can't believe Pro Line is putting those FUGLY rims on mini Revos now. They might honestly be the ugliest RC wheel I've ever seen! I can't stand them!!!

**RFick73** · 09-04-2009 02:49 PM

I am planning on using the Pro Line Epic 2.2 Rear Slash Bead Lock wheels for when my Dirt Hawgs come in.

So far, they have worked great with the other tires I've tried.

Epic Wheel & Flat Iron Tire

**Grandicornis** · 09-04-2009 02:50 PM

$20 a wheel does seem pretty steep. I'll be looking for alternatives myself.

**arvint** · 09-04-2009 02:50 PM

Hmm..but their will be less tire width right?

**lanek99** · 09-04-2009 03:29 PM

I really wish jconcepts made rulux in the buggy size, well they do but not with hexes so I ordered these with my buggy dirt hawgs

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMX91

They have a 12mm hex and are also made to fit buggy rears or, the way I see it, the merv at all four corners

**arvint** · 09-04-2009 03:32 PM

Can you pm me with the results once you buy them? I would appreciate it.

**lanek99** · 09-04-2009 03:45 PM

sure, everything should be here tuesday, I will probably start a new post once i get eveything together.

**Cirkus** · 09-04-2009 05:38 PM

With all the great wheels and tires proline has I can't believe this is what they put out for the MERV. How about some solid dish and mini Badlands?!

Man that is exactly what I would like to see.

**RFick73** · 09-04-2009 08:49 PM

Any of the other styles in mini/buggy would be nice too.

Flat Iron, Slash Switch...
