I'm still tinkering with my eBay rescue RC12LW that only came with three wheels/tires, and the rears are of the old two-screw variety. I think I've managed to find a way to assemble a working diff and thrust using the original rear axle and RC4Less three-screw hubs. So now I need to make it a roller.
It looks like 12th scale racing has changed quite a bit since the RC12L series was popular. Modern wheels mount differently (which I think I have covered now) and modern foam tires are VERY low-profile. Does anyone make three-screw 1:12 wheels with older-style taller mounted foam tires? This thing will mainly be a shelfer or a resell so I'm not really interested in learning how to mount my own foams. I'd just rather buy a set. Is anything like that available?
It's either that or buy what I can get and then adjust the ride height accordingly if I'm able to. But from what I've seen those millimeter-thick foams would look out of place on an older chassis.
Anyone? Thanks.
Anyone make 'tall' 1:12 mounted foams nowadays?

Thanks. I ended up getting some more modern Xceed mounted foams (48mm I think) and will just deal with adjusting the ride height. It's actually not as far off as I thought it would be.
