Vintage Drag Wheel/Tire Question

Quote

Post by therigliveson » Sun Jul 18, 2021 8:23 am

I picked up a vintage, mostly hand-built drag car and need to replace the front tires that have dried up. I really don't even know what I should be looking for. The wheels are narrow aluminum and the tires are rubber with some kind of rubber insert. There's no lip on the wheel either. Any help finding some kind of replacement would be much appreciated.

RC10, FX10, JRX2 PRO, Blackfoot, Bolink Eliminator...much more, probably too much.

Are new or NOS Rough Rider wheels & tires hard to find for a reasonable amount?

I saw a set of 1.75 Centerline style aluminum wheel covers on E-bay that would look great on a current project.

I've got a set of 1.50 proline wheels, and would get...

you would be paying around $75-$90 for a new set of front tires and wheels

Can I get opinions on the best modern wheel/tire upgrades for my old RC10? I'm running HPI 2.2 with proline dirt dawgs but the big 2.2 's on the front seem too much for the skinny front axles and the steering mech. Lots of excessive wobble/shimmy (I...

Last post

now for the front axles. As i said before, heavy modification. I used the axles in the link above, in combination with the b4 carriers and caster block. I reamed out all the holes where the kingpins went since the b4 ones are smaller and so i can...

Hello all. I recently got my drag car up and running and now have a ? maybe somebody can help me with. I am using my old school pdi turbo zeta esc. Now this esc can handle up to 32 cells and multiple mod. motors. Anyways, for my first run I ran it...

I would also check out the boat scene. I have been out of them for a while, but I remember some of those guys ran insane cell counts. I am sure the water cooling helped though.

Total newbie here. RC10 brain trust: What are the go-to tires (and maybe replacement wheels) for neighborhood bashers? I’ll be running the 40th re-re as I would have 35 years ago in a mixed urban environment (parks, ball field, streets, curb...

Thanks @juicedcoupe

I see the brand JConcepts popping up a lot on searches.

My TT-02B has Tamiya Dual Block K tires, which look somewhat closer to the J Concepts Double Dee or Barcode tires. The Tamiya tires seem not great on any particular...

First post

I came across these JCONCEPTS HAZARD #3359 RC10 rear wheels, figuring, from what I read, they would be perfect for a build. I wanted to use the Ae Classic #6815 Champion rear tires on them. I get them, and see that the rim is a bit off for the...

Last post

you would have to glue them either way, so I'd just trim the inner wheel beads and glue them. Or as you are doing, just run the jellybeans.

Ya, dyed black Jellybeans it's going to be. Ordered!

First post

What modern wheels look good on vintage RC 10's? I really don't want plain looking B4 style wheels.

What modern rear tires look close to the original or at least have big knobbly's on them?
Any ideas, pics, links will be great!
Thanks,
Lynn

Last post

Thanks anyway though!
All I see on eBay are jelly bean fronts, but never rears. I would really like to grab both together. Even if I could just get the jelly bean backs, I could get those aluminum Jelly bean covers from eBay I've seen.
