Brittle wheels?

[Xjeepguy]

I’ve got a Shogun and a Radix4, and I’ve had wheels crack and break on both rigs relatively quickly. The Shogun happened on a pretty hard impact, that was all me, but I still think the wheel itself should have been able to take it. I noticed the Radix wheel yesterday, and I don’t remember hitting anything with it. Anyone else notice that Corally wheels seem brittle compared to others?

I had two of the wheels (and the wing) on my Radix 6 break on the first run, first jump. Not very high and good landing, but was on concrete and is was quite cold (about -10 celcius). Guessing the temperature was the main culprit in my case... Have not had any issues on the other 5-6 runs i have had with the car.

I run disc wheels on my Radix6: spoked wheels are too weak.

Hy i made little reasearch on radix wheel and other plastic parts, if the temperature lower than - 2C the stiffnes is degreased about 38%, temp lower than - 10C the stiffnes degreased 71%. Plastic was in pench test and best stiffness was in range +12- +38C.
PS. I TESTED 6 PAIRS OF WHEELS IN PRESSURE AND BEND BENCH AND 4 SETS OF FRONTARMS.

I picked up a set of the Dementor tires from Jennys and my wheels are cracked all over the place.
