Modern dish-style wheels for TRX-1 with proper offset?

Post by Lonestar »

Hi folks

what is the best "modern" wheel to use on stock trx-1 front axles that pay respect to the original suspension geometry? And what bearing size? I need to fit modern rubber on a runner trx-1 for the summer VORN that I will likely attend, and I don't want to use original rims, or AE RC10 rims like I've done so far with my runner.

Thank you!
Paul

If you were not opposed to a 5 spoke, the JC Racing wheels are very nice and should be the proper offset for the trx1/trx3/tcp/nitro buggy

I would be curious to see what Tamiya has to offer in a dish wheel (trf series), since they would be a metric 11mm bearing as well

Hi Jeff

thanks - actually i AM opposed to a non-dished design, for reasons I can't truly explain :mrgreen:

Would the tamiya rims have the proper offset you think?

Thanks,
