Raider front tires?

[mikecel79]

Anyone know if the front tires from and Ultima would fit on the original Raider wheels? One of the front tires on the Raider I am restoring is as hard as a rock so I need to find a replacement. I have some from an old Losi Junior 2 but they are too big. I'm guessing the Losi tires are 2.0" and the Raider are about 1.9".

I would think so, Raider fornts were 1.9, as were Ultimas. The rears would be a no-go unless you put ultima rims back there. The rears were 1.6 on the Raider.

Can you still buy 1.9 front tires? I did a quick search on towerhobbies and did not find much. Seems more crawlers than anything use that size now. I've been out of the hobby for a while so excuse the dumb questions.

Yep, they're a definite fit. There's a pair of raider front tyres on Glee Bay right now. Team CRP also has front spiked tyres that are 1.9 inch and will fit the raider wheels. They have a shop on Glee Bay too.

I have a brand new never been run pair of those tires. They aren't in the package anymore but they were until about 4 months ago. I saw them in a hobby shop in an old discount bin and bought them solely to mount on some old wheels. They are hard as a rock new too! I don't need them if you are interested in them.
