wheel selection for mt.

[redthomas]

I've got a set of 40 series pro line tires..they're road tires and I'd like a chrome wheel..what's a couple to pick from? I either somehow don't know what to look for....or I'm not seeing them


Thanks

You can't use the proline and even if they would fit can't hold up to the task of these big rcs. The prolines are for 8th scale

You will first have to get some adapters so you can run any other wheels proline will work but not the 40 series tires they are for 1/8 scale you will need the proline 1/5 scale tires.

Yeah, the 40s just would not hold up. There are a lot better tires available for the 5th scales.

here are some others that i was looking at too:

i'm skeptical of the wheels as the hex's are plastic & from what i have read they round out. the proline wheels have the metal hex's. i really like the tires in the 1st link. they remind me of the terminator atv tires. it'd be nice to be able to just get the tires. the one's in the 2nd link are over 7' tall. the wheels kinda look cheap but they are beadlocks so the ring should be reuseable right? anyways, just thot i'd share.

Yes the beadlocks will be interchangeable. Some have had good luck with the KM. However, both the wheels and tires are not as good of quality as what they are cloned after.

7 1/2 inches tall....wow.I'm wanting something a little smaller. Not rampage mt small , but not as much rubber to turn as the stock mt tire.. rc dad...that's an attractive tire, but is like a wheel with some flash. Sucks about my tires. Bought them cause they said thee fit my tmaxx, and they won't mount my rims. 60 bucks in brand new tires and nothing to put them on..

The Trenchers are a good sized tire for the trucks.

 

[redthomas]

Whoa. Just read that...sorry it doesn't make any sense..I'd like something smaller, but not xt small. But not as much to turn as an mt. I like the tires you suggested, but I want a wheel with some flash. My mt came with the black rims.

The Prolines come in pairs. They include beadlocks and screws.

I have the black proline desperados with the beadlocks also and they are very nice. I like the way the wheel looks
