Hmmm I'm not exactly sure. I'd say (just guessing) that they weigh about 1/2 - 3/4 of what the stock talons weigh.

The "Victory and Anaconda's" are Rustler sized wheels ansd tires
I beleive you mean the "Gemeni's and Talons" ?

Yes you're right, I do mean Gemini/Talon. I swear I get that wheel/tire combo mixed up so often it's not even funny any more. But to my defence, I did go through several Victory/Anaconda sets during my FLM Rustler period, I guess thats maybe why it sticks to my memory.

That is a significant difference. And I bet they balloon a lot less as well?

Well, it depends. Take a look at page 2 of this thread and you'll see that the tire itself isn't the only factor in balooning. Stretching the rulux rims on the Badlands tightens up the side wall, especially if you glue it behind the inner bead of the rim. They do baloon a little less than the talons though :yes:.

Yeah I was referring to the tighter sidewalls plus the lower rotating mass. How is the side bite? On dirt/grass does it make the truck want to tip over during hard cornering?

Well, they do have sidebite but not enough to anoy me (ie: flipping over all the time)
