Anyone find a modern tire for the RC10T skinny wheel? Or a new skinny wheel/tire combo? LOVE the skinny look but I can't find anything for trucks...

The Jconcepts J82 conversion front tire and wheel is what you would want. Whether they still make them or not it do not know.

I've cut the inside of wheels off, and used narrowed cut and glued tires before without any issues.

Pretty much wrapped up my resto-build on my truck. While it's not 100% correct, it does look good and it's clean and straight (although the body isn't lined up straight...). I am pretty proud of it.

At any rate:

And alongside one of my new...

I laughed at that drivers mesh too! Paint on that is pure teenage 90's! :lol: I like it, sort of reminds me of mine back in the day! But mine was black with a neon yellow lightning bolt on the sides! :lol:

I believe the 7870 were Proline made tires. If you want Skinny Proline Red 55's they look similar, but only 2 rows, and are the real deal.

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.

Thanks Tom!

As it sits, the top of the tub rides along the bottom of the red tape, hence the tape. With a shorter rear tower, you could lower the body slightly but it will be limited and flared out by the chassis. I might even add a lexan skirt to...
