I have done lot's of research on wheels and have a huge inventory of wheels .
So i found best is any 2.2 wheels made for the rc10's like for the graphite and championship edition. They are little expensive but are well worth it.
I have a set of Trinity's on my fox runner and a new set from imax i think. Tires are Bow Ties with Losi Front's. The wheels do away with the standard fragile drive hub & just uses a axle pin like Losi & AE. The off sets are better too which helps the stability a lot in the rear end. A few suspension mods and different steering set up.
Stock front's are fine for modern rubber. Here;s a pic of mine Hope this helps.
Yep the rear will bolt on with no drive plate, just the pin in the axle.
Front wheels take 2.2. Just changed my fronts so i could dye mine to match the Trinity purple/pink. I hate miss matched colour wheels.
Yep E bay is the place. May take a while. Other wheels that are easy to get is the Ofna CRT .5 truggy ( Mini Truggy) Bolt straight on and are cheap but the off sets are pretty big.
Re Po shell on mine is Team Blue Groove on E bay. Re po decals are of e bay but not the best. bjmodels is where i got mine but get the clear version not the white vinyl like these. Not good.
All Tamiya front wheels will fit. Bearing sizes haven't changed.
Evader Wheels I think will fit I have a set but haven't tried them. Offsets are good too. You have a good eye. I new about them but stayed away as they were plastic wheels. I got 2 full sets in a trade i did here and found them to be nylon.
What are the drawbacks to the plastic vs nylon? Will the plastic just not hold up to racing?
If its for re-using purposes, I'd probably just rather buy new wheels for $10 than hassle with soaking them.
I've done lots of real car custom wheel fitments for heavily modified and/or race cars so I understand and can see the basic offset stuff.
The old RC10 wheels seem to have a lower offset, but if the Nitro Evader (electric version looks to have bigger offset) is close and will work they are cheap and readily available. I'll order a pr and report back. If you get a chance in the next few days, could you measure the offsets of the RC10 vs the Nitro Evader wheels for me? Crudely with basic tools would be fine just to get an idea.

you probably had to redrill the rear wheels to get them to fit right? AE axles are "standard" (4.92mm I think) while Tamiya uses metric (5mm iirc)... I had to do that to fit Rc10 wheels on my TRX1, with an offset that looks about right.
Which makes me think - chances are TRX1/Radicator wheels should fit fine on the fox... will check this weekend with mine.

Life is short. Waste it wisely.
My Nitro Evader BX wheels showed up today. I ball park measured them with a tape measure. The back spacing is just under 9/16" compared to the B3 Rc10's 7/16". So they do work, but the offset isn't as good as the B3 wheels. The B3 wheels increase your rear track almost 1/4" compared to the Nitro Evader wheels. You will also have to open up the axle hole about half way through to get the tapered portion of the axle to fit, not a big deal. So for cheap wheels they will work fine, but if you plan on racing I think the B3 wheels would be better for the increased track width.
I scooped up a NIP set of B3 nylon Proline rear wheels today on eBay. $16 shipped.
I guess next would be to search for an axle that is longer so you can use a hex wheel possibly. I'll do some digging around on that and report back if I find anything good.

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.
I'd like mount 2.2 wheels on my Sidewinder but I don't know wheich wheels to buy. It has exactly the same axles as the bobcat/buffalo/boxer. Axles are 4mm I think.
Anyone did that before?
Thanks for any help...

It's cool they repop'd a few of these. This looks awesome. I wish I would have known, I'd have bought one to store in a box next to my og stuff. :P

Ok I'm at my wits end with this and I would like any help. I missed the boat when they were making tires and rims for the RC10 a few years back. I know there are rims still being made by JConcepts but tires are the bane of my existence. I'm willing...

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.
