I ran different tires/wheels for driving the car, and kept the stock ones for display. So you may want to consider a 2.2 wheel just for driving it around.
Thanks for posting. I know the 2.2 route is the easiest and with greater options. I just want to know what possibilities there are with the stock rims first
Has anyone ever used acetone to remove tyres from old school HPI 5 spoke wheels? Want to take some worn tyres off but not if if it trashes the wheels.
Cheers,

bearrickster, I went ahead and tried acetone on the wheels and can confirm that Vintage HPI 5 spokes are acetone proof, if anyone else needs to know :-)
Do any of you have suggestions for a body for my Turbo Optima other than the stock T.O. body, which I don't really care for? I *love* the original Optima body but it's too narrow to fit an 8.4V 7-cell battery. Have any of you tried other bodies and...

Why didnt you buy the lazer zx-s shell from kamtec in the uk. Its also advertised on ebay. Its an optima shell with extra air slots and would be the better option.
Just eyeballing that shell, it almost looks more intended for an Optima Mid, as it...
I'm looking for some viable options for wheels to go on an RC10DS. What setups are you guys using and what adapters/parts are you running to make this all work right? Seems like the stock BBS wheels and speed hawg tires are hard to come by. Thanks...

Anyone tried using this conversion for the front?
Yes, I just did. I'm using that kit with the HPI Vintage series wheels and tires. I have the 0mm offset in the front and 6mm in the rear.
It took some custom fitting to use the stock front C-hub....
Hello, first post here. I have an old RC-10 (not even sure exactly what type) but I am looking to find out more. The first thing I want to do is get some alloy wheels for it. I have seen the Jelly-Bean style rims on Ebay (quite pricey) and also...

Speaking of aluminum wheels...who was the maker of the Mini-Mag wheels? I don't remember if Mini-Mag was the brand or just a model.....
They were a 5 slot, basically a mini version of an old Ansen/Fenton/ET slot.
I am building a SG Coyote 2WD runner and are hoping someone could give me a clue as to what current wheels may be suitable.
Any help appreciated,
Cheers

Thanks Chris, that is excellent!
I will cut the inside bead off the front wheels and then fit 4WD fronts so they are a little narrower. I used to do that to make 22mm rims out of 26mm touring car rims years ago and provided you glued the tyre on...
I'll soon have a parted-out Bandit in my possession, my first Traxxas. I can't say I've ever seen a Bandit rolling on anything other than the stock chrome five-spokes which I find to be kinda ugly. I know they use a pin-drive mount on all four...
