yeah they can be changed over, but have to be correct hex fitment, or use adapters, but then you got to be careful with gearing.

both run 12mm hex fitting, the wraith kit tyres are bigger than the losi 2.2 comp crawler kit tyres.

if you want some big tyres to go on the original scout (2.2) rims, look for panther cougars, well over 6" tall. search ebay mate, the biggest are all around the 6" mark.

unfortunately crawling is still steadily growing in the u.k, the u.s have been at it a while and most parts etc. are still from the states.

si you can make em but itl cost, im making 8" ones soon, but the prob you will have is itl alter your gearing, which at least could result in overheating at worse catastrophic failure!! ok not atomic bomb type,lol, but ya get the jist :)
