New DDM Billet SIX Aluminum wheels for HPI Baja 5B/5T/5SC and Losi 5IVE-T 

+Croozer how do you like them?

Very nice wheel, I like them a lot and they look good on the 5ive-T

are they much heavier than the stock plastic wheels on the 5ive-T? i really like the style of them, i just dont want to add tons of extra weight.

You will have to check there website for the weight, it was never a concern of mine.

thanks for the help! pretty sure im going to order them.

Did you try? I’m building a kraton 6s and was wondering if I could make these fit as well.

Jax Teller WA Thanks! They have been out for a while now and have proven to be a really durable wheel that can actually be used rather than just looked at like other aluminum wheels currently available. We've been very happy with them.

Be sure to send some pics of the finished project when it is all done!

You will use size "A" wheels for all four corners. It has been done by plenty of people (Trepador tires on Bajas).

Ok cool

Trepador tires

+April Arenivar Assuming this is for a Losi 5IVE I would choose the Bartolone "rear mount" pipe for the 5IVE. If it is a Baja then I would say the VRC BigBore side mount pipe will yield a little more top end RPM, but the Bartolone Torpedo will have a better midrange.

Its for my losi dbxl and i went with the vrc big bore hope i made the right choice

For a DBXL that is an awesome pipe.

+Kyle Schraw 5B wheels will require 5B tires. Those are going to be low profile and look funny. They can also potentially cause problems with rubbing on steering/body components when the suspension is compressed and turning.

DDMSteveB won’t axle extenders on a 5T fix any rubbing issues?

+April Arenivar Yes, you will want to use the "size A" wheels for the Desert Buggy XL. You can use plastic bead lock rings for different colors. The aluminum rings are all raw silver, but many have powdercoated them, others have had them anodized.

Might be worth watching this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c3n4gI5nQv8.htmlsi=sh4_el-4A3R8QRCG short answer is yes it will fit a Baja 5B but you will require Baja 5T tires and inserts.

@@DDMSteveB thank you 🙏

Yes they will! You will want to use the "Size A" wheels. The new Billet SPOKE wheels will also fit the XCR-1200

Size A for the 5IVE-T

+Starguard ! if your truck has 24mm hubs then yes it will.

Thanks!

Yes, use Size A.

Yes you can; you need these adapters though: www.davesmotors.com/RAMTech-Redcat-XT-XB-XSC-Chimera-Series-to-HPI-Baja-Wheel-Adapters-RAM-XT-Baja.html

They are $124.99/pair, the beadlock rings are $44.99/pair, so $340 for a complete set of wheels and outer beadlock rings. We suggest the use of plastic inner rings which are $13/set of 4

We actually have the weights listed on our site but I will post them here too: Size A Wheels weigh .72 lbs (.33kg) each Size B Wheels weigh .76 lbs (.35kg) each Size C Wheels weigh .80 lbs (.36kg)

DDMSteveB are they lighter then plastic wheels ??

No. Aluminum is definitely heavier than plastic.

DDMSteveB yea figured that my cuz big dirty o's r.c. swore aluminum was lighter I told him no way

Yes they are

DDMSteveB cheers so fit on Fg wheels if i use adaptors

Yes, assuming that the suspension and body will not have any clearance issues

Wheels are sold in packs of two. Two wheels for $124.99

No aluminum inner bead lock rings. The rings are too thin and will bend and ultimately break. Plastic inner rings are the way to go.

@@DDMSteveB Alright, thanks for answering Steve. My issue is with plastic wheels anyway not your aluminum ones. I do own/use 3 sets of the DDM 6 spokes, and the DDM Plastic Beadlocks Inner and Outer fit them like a glove. No gaps or waves. Perfect. My RCMK's w/Trenchers are the bizatch when assembling w/ any hope of ever being absolutely flat. The "snake that swallowed 10 mice" look is only on the inside and they hold w/o ever tearing, so who cares right?
