Tire / wheel question

[Kaz the Minotaur]

Do the HPI and aftermarket tires for the Baja fit on the Rampage buggy wheels? If not is one wider than the other?


I'm wanting to convery to buggy wheels and I am trying to decide how to do it.


Has anyone know how much weight difference there is between the stock truck and buggy wheels & tires? For those who have made the switch to buggy wheels how much of a performance increase did you notice?

sorry they don't fit


the hpi tires and wheels have 2 different size beeds on one wheel


that HPI tire wheel set only work with each other


the rampage tt tire is about 3/16'' larger than the hpi


the hpi is a few grams heavier but a lot stronger


they both give a big power boost,because they are a lot smaller and lighter than the rampage mt tires, also ezer to steer and stop, rotational weight is a big deal


i hope this helps

The outside bead is one diameter and the inside is another?

ya the outside sidewall has a smaller bead,giving it more rubber on the outside


on the hpi


and the wheels have a larger hub than the rampage too

Does anyone know how the stock Baja rear tires do compared to Badlands?

The best buggy wheels and tires in my personal experience are the fgbaja ones, tough wheels and awesome hard wearing tires...of course they don't fit the rampage without ams adapters that have too much offset so stick out a long ways (they're for the fgmt wheels).


The badlands are way better than the stock hpi tires so everyone says but you'll still need adapters, i just picked up 4 of the vertigo 8mm positve offset hpi rear adapters to run paddles, real nice product.....i'm hoping vertigo will make some rampage to fg adapters with minimal offset, i'm gonna run it by Clayton to see if it's worth his while. 4 fgbaja rears would be the nuts for buggy tires on the ramp

I like the look of the FG stadium truck tires. They are a little expensive for me though.


I'll probably stick with the Badlands.

What about these tires for the Hurricane / Titan? They are smaller that the Rampage truck tires but still have a truck like tread.


Do they mount on the square FG Rampage adapters that Rob sells?
