My mate has this chassis and we need new wheels and tyres. After looking at pics etc I thought it was an RC12LW with bigger RC10L wheels. But not having anything physical to compare it to it could actually be an RC10. I have taken a bunch of pics. Can someone please educate me on what it is and where to buy wheels and tyres for it. The chassis is about 236mm long. Wheelbase is about 200mm.
What they did is put a 1/10 rear axle in a 1/12 car (you are correct, it's a 12LW). The only car that I recall ever using a 1/10 bolt pattern was the Parma Panther, and the chances of finding those wheels and tires are unlikely. You'd be best off swapping it back to original or see if a modern 3 bolt setup will fit. Should fit without much issue. Front won't fight you, sort out the back then just buy matching front. All the fronts you find will use either your bearings or an unflanged version of the bearings you have, either way it's easy
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
wowser...that is quite the assortment of tires on that thing. As Jeff above said about going back to original rear axle or modernizing it to a 3 bolt setup you were in the correct area for tires/wheels for that car. I've used these just to get some wheels/tires on a car to make it a roller.
Good luck.

Agree with Jeff. Definitely a 12LW. You may only need the hubs. Kinda looks to me that they are using the 12LW axle with 10l hubs. That big front wheel is just wrong. Same bearing sizes though for 12L et al. and 10L if memory serves.
I agree it looks a bit odd with the big wheels but we don't have any good flat surfaces nearby to drive it so it will just be bashing around in car parks where the big wheels are needed. I'm tempted to drill out a stock 12mm hex wheel and a plastic hex to fit the bearings and just put them on the front. Then at least it will be easy to find replacements. If those rc4less wheels are correct then I'll order a set of those as well.
If you want to keep those big wheels on it for the skateparks those wheels and tires you posted up from rc4less will work as it sits now. You won't have to worry about scraping the bottom up on it much either

I have an original RC10L Graphite roller I've been sitting on, deciding what to do with it.
I was hoping to maybe trade it on rctech for a 2wd buggy but haven't gotten much luck, so maybe I'll build it up.
I saw an article way back when about...

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can get BSR rubber capped tires still. If you can't find any, my LHS has some NIPs too if you're interested let me know.
Hi guys (and hopefully some gals), I am hoping someone here can help me out on my restoration. I am starting to rebuild my 10L from way back in the day and need some new front wheels and tires, and maybe rears as well. I have found some from CRC and...

You should be good...pan cars wheels were pretty much standardized, especially 10th scale

I spoke with some of our local guys who worked for AE over the years. They said quality control was what you would expect with a bunch of teenage kids working there. I believe it as I have gotten some seriously fd'-up stuff over the years from them....
Hey guys it has been a while since I was able to do any machining. I came home from Korea for a couple weeks and spent the past weekend in the shop. I was able to machine a new style of BBS wheels which will fit pretty much any of teh 1/10 pan cars...

Anyone have any idea where I can get some aluminum wheels for a shelf queen? thanks
Hi curious about what can I use to replace missing front wheel plastic washers, I have a couple of cars that are missing them. And foam tire donuts, what to use on pargu wheels, or even vintage sees & technacraft??
Glad to see some people still...

I found one of these RC10L SS kits sitting on the shelf at a hobby shop and was wondering if they are still common to find in kit form. I remember when this car came out years ago but not sure when they stopped production. The same shop had a couple...
