I had these Proline 40 series Mashers mounted on Axial 8 spoke over sized chrome wheels. The chrome was flaking off and it just looked ugly. I dipped the wheels and tires in Acetone for 36 hours and ended up with very clean wheels and tires but it ruined the foam insert. I took the chrome off the wheels with Easy-Off oven cleaner and then dyed them with black Ryt dye. I purchased Racers Edge two stage 40 series foam inserts and put an extra layer of foam around the middle part. This over stuffs the Proline Mashers, making them firmer and gives a nice crown that I like. I like the 40 series Mashers on the LST because I think they are the perfect size for the truck. The same width as the Losi 420 series ATX but a tad smaller on the diameter.
