Hi Guys

Can the Traxxas wheels for the Rustler and Stampede fit on the Blackfoot axles. I am trying to see if I can get some different wheels for it.

Does the King BF have hex style rear axle drives?

If so, the Kingcab wheels should fit as well. Widen the search a little.


I have aluminum wheels that will fit the Kingcab for sale. LMK

KBF wheels are indeed a hex mount.

i don't have any king blackfoot rims to check the offset, but i'd think front rustler/stampede rims would work. or nitro rears.

Might need to put a spacer on the front axle to compensate for the width if you are using the traxxas wheels. I don't know why Tamiya made them so darn long.

Are you trying to fit Traxxas wheels on the blackfoot or the king blackfoot?

If it's for the blackfoot, the traxxas wheels are a direct bolt on (see my pic below).

If this is for the king blackfoot that uses hexes, you can get an adapter that you put over the hex to run blackfoot wheels...however, I don't know how long your stock axles are.

You can also put hex wheels on a blackfoot by using ing the HPI adapters for their 5 spoke wheels.

Hope this helps...

Cheers Guys I guess there are alot of options. I would be looking to add wheels onto the King Balckfoot as not lucky enough to have a original Blackfoot.
