These duratrax maximum BX rear wheels look like a perfect alternative for the 2.0 wide offset wheels found on turbo ultima , optima mid custom sepecial and everything inbetween.

I think I saw an exploded view showing hexes also.. but are they 12 mm and are these wheels 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2 ???

the fronts for these are real narrow: good for 2 wheel drive only, but I'd just rim the inner bead for 4wd fronts

Thanks for pointing those out. I'll pick up a set of fronts and backs to see what they fit.

The fronts don't have a space to put bearings. I think they are good for the front of an RB5 but too narrow for the ZX5 and other 4wd's.

Hi there,
Just bought an old RC10 Worlds Car which has been modified and goes like stink. Unfortunately
the turning part of the car is very poor on tarmac with major understeer. I thought I'd
put some wider front wheels and tyres on the car. I like...

hey, welcome to site. off the top of my head, i can't think of any wider wheel/tire combo that's readily available. i would try putting 30 degree castor blocks up front, and 0 degree rear a-arm mounts and hub carriers on the back. that should help...

Hi,
I was wondering where I could find some offset 2.2 truck wheels. I remember HPI used to make some deep dish/offset wheel, which I can't find anymore, but some of their new offerings seem to have some offset. I also read that the duratrax...

Hi all,

I am looking at the JC Racing 5 - spoke wheels.

First, are they direct pin, or hex adapters? does anyone here know?

Second which wheel will result in a wider wheel track, B2/3 or original RC10 wheels?

From the looks alone I'd say the...

Direct pin, a staight swap.
Good wheels by the way. A great look and opens up massive tyre options.

Curious if others no of high offset wheels for the JRXT. Plenty of adapters to make them hex drive but as we all know offset unique. I am aware of all the options of converting to different hubs and such on these for buggy wheels. None of those...

I have used the aluminum front Tamiya ones I posted on a basher before and they held up to a lot of abuse. Whether they are proper or not I don't know but worked. I seem to recall having them on the front of an RC10 too with the metric bearings,...

Hi folks

what is the best modern wheel to use on stock trx-1 front axles that pay respect to the original suspension geometry? And what bearing size? I need to fit modern rubber on a runner trx-1 for the summer VORN that I will likely attend, and I...

Hi Jeff

thanks - actually i AM opposed to a non-dished design, for reasons I can't truly explain :mrgreen:

Would the tamiya rims have the proper offset you think?

Thanks,

Hi!

I have gone through my 3rd set of front wheels on my edinger RC10 - due mostly to the fact my son has picked up the hobby and the racing gets a little bumpy . Has anyone tried to move to a different set of front wheels that are more sturdy?...

Last post

If I understand correctly the B2 front wheels have the correct back spacing to run on the older cars. If that is the case you can still get front one piece black 2.2 wheels for the B2 directly from AE's website for $4.
