    Anyone have a line on 1/9 or 1/10 scale truck tires for 1.9? I'm trying to to get close to 33". 90mm would be close but not finding anything but super mud tires. Looking for something more in an AT road tire. Thanks

    Building up this bomber for my fiancée. It’s loaded with goodies so far...

    I need help though. I did the wheels and tires tonight and totally forgot that there was a spare when I ordered these. Does anyone have a spare hyrax 2.2 tire they can sell me?

    been Putting of working on my bajarey for awhile now. After some modifying I was able to get the wheels and hex bolts to fit nicely to the truck and made some rough cuts to the proline body.

    Thank you! I wanna add it to my crawler for looks, did it just bolt up? You mentioned something regarding the hex bolts, do you mean the nut? Or the hex behind the wheel? Thank so your help, I am still new and I might have dumb questions from time to time.

    I’d have to imagine the hex is likely a different size on those wheels.

    Any reason you wouldn’t go with a scale tire for your crawler?

    I looked it up. The Arrma is a 14mm hex. And my crawlers are using a 12mm hex. So that is definitely different. I could find a 14mm hex and see if it fits over the axle shaft.

    I didn't realized that the wheel is a 2.0 / 3.0. Much larger than I thought. LOL I am looking for a Fifteen52 wheel in R/C form.

    [​IMG]

    Which your Arrma is the closest I was able to find without doing something custom CNC.
    [​IMG]

    But also found the 1:1 version of the Arrma wheels above. Which is a Forge TurboMac HD with an OMF BeadRing.

    [​IMG]

    Another option I was thinking to get the look I want, just buy the 2.0 Arrma, cut the face off and glue it onto a beadlock cheapy wheel. LOL

    Talking about wheels my new custom made prototypes to closely match my Tacoma are on the way. I just need to make them black.

    I’d suggest you do the same thing as @20tacoma17 . Just get some made of you really want those exact wheels. Personally, I’m cool with any of the VP wheels.

    I saw these very nice. He quoted me $130 a set of 4. He said, it's not yet available. But I would buy a set to have a set just because I like wheels.But very cool indeed!

    I am waiting for these to arrive.

    because they remind me of these.
    [​IMG]

    And these wheels too.

    His prices are very good for CNC made wheels. Custom first sets are just a little more because of all the computer work he has to do but I'm very pleased. Cant wait to get them, then painted and installed.
