the offset on the rear is good. that how the "good" aftermarket rc10 truck conversion rims should be. unless your trying to put them on a 10t, then it'll be friggin' wide as hell.

are you using them on a buggy or a 10t? they're designed for a buggy.

Doesn’t the B3/T3 have longer front axles than the original? I may be wrong, but sorry I’m just bored! My ol’ lady and kid are taking a nap before we go to a party later. They never take naps on weekends when I want them to! :evil: :lol:

well, the seller didn't lie. they're used to turn your buggy into a monster truck. they're just not meant for the 10t.

if you decide to keep them, and want to do an rc10 truck conversion, let me know. i'm almost positive i have the pair of front axles that you need.

Sorry to dig up such an old thread, but I have a set of Stampede wheels that I'm trying to use on my old RC10T. The Stampede used 11x5x4mm bearings in the wheels, which isn't quite right for the 10T axles. Do you happen to recall where you found the 11mm to 3/8" bearing adapters?

A Stampede uses 12mm hexes, and have different front and rear offsets. I have a couple 10T's that use Traxxas caster blocks and carriers to convert the front to hexes.

There were several Tamiya wheels that used 11mm OD bearings. The adapter rings pop up on Ebay fairly regularly.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
