Any hobby shop that sells 1/12th scale stuff. But you'll need a new rear axle and right & left hub, as new rear wheels use three bolts to attach instead of two...

you will need a complete rc12l4 rear axle. I did mine it would have been cheaper to buy a new car. just order some donuts for those rims

can't you just use newer rims with 6 mounting holes like the ones from rc4less or t-m racing?

He would still need to purchase a different passenger side rear hub and other odds and ends. The early 12L's used the two bold wheel as part of the differentail assembly. The later cars do not, and the wheels will not fit regardless of the hole orientation. -Jeff

not really it was not pretty at all. the car was dragging the ground I couldnt figure out why it was such a handful to drive. then we figured it out right before the main, but it was to late to get use to it before the race. here's the bottom, thats traction compound, ie glue!

after we fixed it the car ran great.
