Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out what wheels will work with my RC10 Graphite. I have the originals wheels still, but they're pretty trashed. What's on there now are Tamiya Wild One fronts with adapters for the original 3/16 x 1/8 bearings, these are 2.2" wheels. I tried finding another set of the Wild One's as I like the look of them and they're 20mm wide, but they're too expensive.

I've researched a bit, but can't seem to come up with a definitive answer - and most forum topics are out of date. I want to use modern 2.2" wheels, and keep a relatively narrow front tyre, say 20~25mm.

One method seems to be the front wheel conversion kit (6801) with B4 wheels (9588).

Question is
1. is there any wheels that will fit the stock front axles/bearings, or;
2. a wheel and different bearing set that suits?

Thanks.

I believe that the the re-re uses different front shafts to the old car. The re-re use the shaft you'd get in the front conversion kit and uses the same B4 wheels.

Correct- the rere worlds uses newer offset wheels and long front axles. Kinda hacky. As far as available wheels for it, without changing axles- check JC Racing Wheels. They are fairly inexpensive and nicely made out of the U.K.

I couldn't find these on their site or anywhere else. Well done! Thanks!

Yeah I had to poke around, looks like they moved them to vintage but shows as clearance in the link

I have a couple sets, they are nice and the shipping was fast! It's worth buying a few extra sets

Can someone measure the width of the fronts please? I want to get some tyres but don't know the width.
Thanks.
