Sketer wheels handle well on 6s? Interesting. I thought the stock wheels were one of the knocks on the rig. Maybe they're not so bad after all?got some sketer wheels and tyres coming , reading good reports on there handling of 6s , so look forward to trying them on this and others
I considered running Sketer wheels/tyres on my Asuga, even went so far as to buy a set. I sent them back because I realised that they have a much different offset to the wheels than the original Asuga wheels. They are much wider offset where as the original wheels are close to 0 offset.got some sketer wheels and tyres coming , reading good reports on there handling of 6s , so look forward to trying them on this and others
Cheers Klappers , had a couple of runs with sketer tyres and they are awesome , might get some DR8 tooI considered running Sketer wheels/tyres on my Asuga, even went so far as to buy a set.

Without getting too technical, this alters the scrub radius of the tyre contact patch on the ground and will change how the vehicle steers and handles in general, since the Asuga was designed for 0 or close to 0 offset wheels, this change would negatively affect it's handling, unlike the Sketer which has different hubs, arms etc and is designed for different wheels.
To get the Asuga to handle most similar to the original wheels/tyres, I would recommend FTX DR8 wheels/tyres, part number FTX9582.
It drives nicely with these and they look great too. I have also tried Arrma Mojave wheels/tyres which are great but gripped a little too much for my liking on grass surfaces. The DR8 tyres allow it to slide around more and be more playful in terms of handling balance.

I'd be interested to see how it runs, glad they are working out for you.Cheers Klappers , had a couple of runs with sketer tyres and they are awesome , might get some DR8 too
