Graphite/MIP car to 2.2?

Post by CoalTrain »

I have this MIP tranny graphite chassis RC10 and I want to upgrade to 2.2 tires. I have what I think are 3/16 MIP cvd's already so I "think" all I need to make the switch are: (4) 3/16 x 3/8 flanged bearings for the rear hubs, (4) 3/16 x 3/8 unflanged bearings for the front wheels, Duratrax Evader 2.2 front wheels and Duratrax Nitro Evader 2.2 rear wheels, right?

Those front wheels might be Pro-line for the Tamiya Fox/Wild One. They made a similar looking wheel. Are the bearings/axles Tamiya sized? They look pretty large. That should tell you for sure.

Those front wheels have small inserts that allow the use of the original RC10 flanged bearing, if I remove them they do use the same size bearings as the Tamiya cars fron the same time

If there are a series of bumps/dots or whatever you'd like to call them around the diameter of the wheel to represent rivets, then they are Proline for Tamiya 1.9s.
