Starting to biuld NIB a radicator kit that I have. My question is are any rims avialible to replace the pink rims in this kit. I want to keep it as original as I can but the pink rims just don't get it. I see that tower has some white rims for the trx1 . Traxxas part # are 1776 and 1774 for both front and rear they look the same but will they fit the rad.

I think the silver ones for the older bandit are still available (same as the pink, just painted silver). I see them at hobby shops all the time. I also thought the TRX3/TCP wheels (solid) where also still available.

1774 will fit.... and 1775 are the fronts (I think you mistyped the 1776).

I have those on my Rad2 from Tower... they are exactly the same as the originals. Maybe a little whiter.

thanks civilguy.You are correct on the type error. orderd both from tower 1774 and 1775 . thanks for the reply .

No problem. Once I finish the Rad2 for VONats duty I'll post some pics. I have Losi ribs on the front and will be trying Goose Bumps on the rears-- it's great that 2.2s go right on these old Traxxas buggys. It was such a challenge finding modern rubber for the RC10 without modding the rear axles.
Best of luck!

are these what ur looking for check them out http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-RC-Traxxas-1773-wheels-hot-pink-TRX1-buggy-NEW_W0QQitemZ260469563606QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio_Control_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ca53220d6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Is this the upgrade u might be looking for?

I ordered these from towerhttp://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJJ72&P=7 and thesehttp://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJJ73&P=M That for the help . They are supose to be the same size as the pink kit rims . That way I can use kit tires.

rctenracer- those will be the exact same as the pink kit rims, just not pink.
I have a set of original rear tires mounted (thanks JK Racing if I remember right), a set of new (Tower) original fronts mounted and a set of vintage period correct ribbed fronts (eBay) mounted.... plus a set of Losi ribbed & Goose Bumps (modern rubber) for the VONats. At under $4 a set I couldn't resist snagging a bunch of those rims from Tower.

Hey are the pink rad rims a that came with the kit nylon?
