What options are out there for the old small 3 piece rear wheel. I would like to have new tires for my shelfer project. I do not have to have the originals but smoething with that same type of spike tread would work. I have been out of the rc10 scene for a while but I thought they were 1.6 size....is this correct ?

Yes, 1.6" is correct. Best bet is eBay-- I've found decent deals on vintage aftermarket tires (Proline, CRP, Troll, etc), especially if you're not fixated on getting the originals. Good luck!

I saw some like that on ebay and thought I buy them to see if they fit. Perfect for my copper top ride. they say 1.5 but figured I could stretch them on. Scr8p you ever tried it?

yes it works .. i did it with the tamiya grasshopper tires.
you have to cut away a small part of the inside. if you have a original tire next to a tamiya one you will know what i mean.
