Measuring up the "wide" tamiya wheel:

width = 1.25"
diameter at bead = 1.9"
backspace = .59" (assembled with negative offset)

1.25 - .59 = .66 (distance from hex surface to outer wheel lip on tamiya wheel)

1.2 - .85 = .35 (rocky)

Compared to the Rocky combo, the tamiya wheel will increase the track width by .31" each side, .62" total. Might be more than you're looking for??

These look interesting

These Losi 1.9" beadlocks look to have a negative offset

It's all custom I only used the type R because fuel tank and rear shocks are from the Ultima St GP extra spare parts I had.

My work bench has seen some action this weekend. I decided to pull the last of my two Gallop Mk2 buggies out for another look.
A while back I spent a good while searching and chasing down parts and cars to add a Gallop or two to my collection. Many...

Fantastic job Jason - not an easy shell to mask, and with all the colours it gets complicated to say the least !

IIRC, the Kyosho Outrage MK2 came out in 1993/1994. Would someone with an Tower Hobbies catalog check if I'm right and also was it a kit or RTR. While your in there, what was Tower's price?

Anyone? Even an issue of RCCA?

I'll have a look tonight, although I'm pretty sure the ads I saw it in are from later...
