Tyres and wheels for Hotshot/boomerang

Hi,

What are my options, other than std Tamiya parts for replacement tyres for a boomerang, currently with std wheels.

Alternatively, if they are an odd size, can I get adapters from the Tamiya hub to a 12mm hex wheel.

Will be running mixed surfaces, including tarmac, so fairly resilient, or cheap!

Not looking for competition grade, just for knocking around.

Thanks.

Well, after a bit of browsing, I have found the Tamiya 12mm hex adapters.

And am now overwhelmed by the choices of tyres and wheels available.

I was considering The Dirt Hawg tyres from proline. But they seem to be larger dia.

Will they work ok?

Or should I just go for a generic mini-stud type tyre. (There are some cheap fasttrack tyres and wheels, even the Schumacher ones seem ok value, compared to the Tamiya block/spike tyres for the boomerang)

 

Would softer tyres help the durability of the car (ie prevent the suspension from getting a hammering)?

 

Any recommendations appreciated....
