Good morning,
I recently completed the 40th anniv, of course i will be taking it to the track but i would like the option to take it to an indoor track. i seem to have trouble finding rear mono wheels that fit with carpet tires. apparently the RE RE has 1/4 stepped axles. and the j concept wheels are 3/16 straight axles. Could anyone recommend some wheels that fit? Thanks!

I use hex adapters in the rear (factory works make them, but I 3d printed mine) and run Kyosho Turbo Scorpion wheels. This requires 3/16x5/16x1/8 bearings (I use TRB-100494) for the matching front wheels but works well and keeps the car at the right width. Front wheel I trim of the bead on the inside facing portion of the wheel to fit the modern narrow tires.

the other option is to get either CVDs for the rear of the car (not the MIP ones since the new ones are still 1/4" unless you mix and match parts of get an older set), or buy rear stub axles from the RC10DS that are 3/16 and will fit the Mono wheels properly.

i found the Jconcepts wheels called Mono – 1.7” RC10 Rear Wheel it says they fit the 1/4 axles... https://jconcepts.net/mono-17-rc10-rear-wheel Maybe these would work?.

You're looking for 2.2 wheels to fit the modern carpet tires. Those are small diameter like the stock jelly bean wheels.

The new Jconcepts Pioneer wheels have a separate hub like the old yokomo wheels, and they'll have hubs for 3/16 or 1/4 axles. Just haven't been released yet.

Could always use a 1/4 inch drill bit to create the pocket on the back of a 3/16 inch wheel for the axle to seat into like we did back in the day.
