Alternative Tires for HPI Vintage Wheels

Quote

Post by bats » Thu May 07, 2015 9:29 am

I am looking for an alternative tire for my HPI Vintage 8 spoke wheels. I have Vintage Racing tires mounted but I need something with a higher profile that will give a beefier muscle car look.

Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone!

I am working on restoring my old A-stamp RC-10, and I was kind of thinking of doing some racing. I know there are a few options out there to do 2.2 inch wheels and tires, but I was hoping I could get something a little more...

I designed a set of 2.2 jelly beans with plans of 3d printing them but they ended up being too expensive. Might do them anyway for the cool factor but need to save funds.

Ill make them available for purchase (shapeways) but need to verify sizing...

I got my box-o-tires today and tested them on JRX2 and Ultima wheels:

JRX2, are a stretch (1.7 on a 2.0 wheel), fronts are 1.9 on a 2.1 wheel

Ultima, rear are a stretch (same as above, but Kyosho has very tall inner ribs to clear over):

I'd like to see these on a set of 3pc wheels if they would even fit

I realized that even with the wide RPM arms my jrx-T is very narrow with modern wheels on it due to the dirrerent wheel offset. Has anyone tried to put something like holeshots or bow-ties with foams onto Vintage Losi 3-piece wheels? Will they fit?

anthony, you could've grabbed a set of hpi super star mt wheels. then you wouldn't have had any backspacing issues. i ran then on my junior-t all the time bitd.

Since it seems like the world has moved forward to nothing but 2.2 wheels and tires for buggies, I needed to find some readily-available 2 rear tires to keep my RC10 running.

I had a pair of Losi LOSB0982 Mini-Kingpins for an 1/18 Mini LST that I...

I've been looking around a bit for alternative wheels for the B3 considering that the originals are getting hard to find. The obvious option is the Thunder Tiger Phoenix BX II but recently I've read that Duratrax Evader BX wheels also fit.

You can only buy direct unless that has changed? Just make sure they know you want the B3 versions for 3/16 axles and not the old school 1/4 axles.

I did dye the wheels for the Houge before I painted them.
Totally forgot about that until just now
They took dye as well as any other nylon I have done.
