tire and wheel ?

[blak__jak]

I was just wondering if any of you guys had tried anything other than the stock tires and wheels on an mt and what might be out there that would fit. The stock ones as I'm sure you know are quite a load. I know its a lot of what you use it for but I just would like to know whats out there to pick from and what fits. Thanks

nothing fits a redcat hub but the redcat wheels. If you buy the HPI adapters, then you have opened up a world of choices.

hpi adapters than what hpi wheels or are there others that fit the adapters

All the 5t rears work great.

These are cool if you want to keep the MT look but shave some weight. http://www.imexrc.com/servlet/the-1982/*Special*-1-fdsh-5-Scale-Mounted/Detail

These are 5T(size) proline rear trenchers mounted to proline rears on my MT.

there hot but I think I might spend the little extra toy cash that I can hide from the little lady on something I need more.

 

[Guest]

Lol. Yeah, it gets spendy. Welcome to 5th scale.

well, there are 3 different types of people who have remote control cars from what I can tell (still being new at this).

Theres the ones that want to be Ricky Bobby and just go faster- which can get expensive

and then theres the ones that are building the "scale" cars that really get detailed and expensive

Then there's the ones that want it all... Ricky Bobby scale builders- sexy rides that are all faster than mine... enter RCDAD... ha ha ha

Those people are the ones with the very understanding wives... mine is a little understanding, but will never be to the point that she understands my needs as an addict.

At least 10 per wheel. LOL

 

[Guest]

I have these on other platforms. http://www.largescalerc.com/enclosedwheelnuts-1.aspx

The wheel nuts don't add any HP. It's all about the DDM sticker!

RCdad are those 5t rear trenchers mounted on 5t rear wheels or 5b rear wheels? Would these be good for race track? I want to hit a new local track but not sure if the Hostile MX are suitable.
