will these tires fit the Buggy champ wheels? I like the way they look but I already bought the wheels. and their Aluminum face BC ones.

I think so. Um I think I have a pair sitting around. If you can get me the measurments I'll measure the tires tonight.

their 1.7

well when the build starts the little 380 motor will stay in the box, I just got a Tamiya Sport tuned RS-540 that should move it along a little better.

while we are talking about tires, the Twinn K tires I have are a lot bigger than the stock Buggy champ tires. they are taller and almost a 1/4" wider, I didnt relise they were that much bigger until I set them side by side. I sure hope they fit

The raider tires are 1.9. I guess they won't fit.

no I am very disaponted in it I have it built ready for paint but I cant run the buggy champ wheels I bought for it. the rear is set up only for the flat front hex hub wheels. I tried a bunch of combos ended up with frog axles and that finly allowed me to bolt them up but they stick out so far it looks like a lowrider with 13 wheels sticking out the side.

Can you narrow the rear track width to compensate for the wheel offset?

What if you tried a narrower Kyosho, or modified front or rear Traxxas hub/bearing carriers & shorter dog bones?

I bet it's possible to modify the rear arms to pull that hub in further.

This may help too: (same chassis)

that will help alot thank you. I was just thinking of seeing if my Hummer arms would work. I can only try what I have on hand, I dont have a hobby shop anywere near me. the dog bones/out drives have to be changed also, it has these huge plastic/ metal dog bones. the axle is so short it wont fit through the buggy champ wheels. I will get back on this soon. I have been building my new SCX10 Dingo and that took me from this also.

they started doing mods to the body and quit? that sucks, but thanks. I think I am just going to build it up to run, not the scale build I wanted at first. Very disappointedI cant do what I wanted but you never know I am get to it some day.
