so a couple of things i have a set of wheels for a truck and it seems know i have to get super long axles to be able to mount them on my truck could someone tell me what brand of wheel they are and do i need to get monster axles or are they not rc10 wheels

thank you for looking
regards Paul

what size bearings are those? look like tamiya. rims might be for a blackfoot, monster beetle, etc......

yes looks like i got had the bearing size is 11mm outside and 5mm inside i got them as they were sold as AE truck wheels
the one on the right is visibly larger in every way

do you have a matching pair of rims for the rear? what does the hub look like?

well the rears fit no problem but the offset is 1/2 inch

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!

ok so monster truck it is

thanks for your help scr8p

Paul

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.

thanks for the offer scr8p but Don beat you to it i think they need some attention from some mothers ive been wanting to try that billet polish

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.
