What sort of surfaces do you want them for? I think I put a list of potentials together a while back when I was getting bits for my truggy kit, I could see if I could find that if it would be useful?

its mainly park and gravel, i will try find somewhere with short grass as i know the lc racing doesnt do well in long grass.

if you could mate, that would be awesome 🙂 

[BigGinge]

This was the list of ones that I found that might work, but I haven't confirmed their offsets/weights etc or got too much of an idea of how they will work out (apart from the LC racing ones I have the the random pair from ali-express).

 

LC Racing

L6061: Monster Truck Tires (very similar tread pattern to pro-line trenchers)

L6150: Truggy Wheels, should be possible to mount up any 1/10 scale rear buggy tires that you can find

L6146: Standard Truggy Pin Tires, 85 x 42 mm (other variants are available with different coloured rims)

L6247: Heavy Duty Block Pin Truggy Tires (other variants are available with different coloured rims

 

Pro-Line

PRO119411/PL1194-11: 1/16 2.2" Trencher

 

Hosim

16-ZJ01: 85mm OD, look quite wide

 

Duratrax (these seem to be sold under the Fastrax/Lousie branding in some places)

Sidearm ST 2.2 (Same as Louise Spider 2.2)

Bandito ST 2.2 (Same as Louise Rocket 2.2, Fastrax 1:16 Eagle)

Six Pack ST 2.2: (Same as Louise Uphill 2.2, Fastrax 1:16 Stinger)

Lockup ST 2.2 (Same as Louise Pioneer Fastrax 1:16 Jigsaw)

 

Traxxas

7174A: Talon tires and Gemini wheels (From Mini e-revo I think)

7672: Tenton wheels and Tires (From mini Summit?)

 

Random Ali-express Tires

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32971464457.html

I actually bought a set of these to try out on concrete/tarmac and they are pretty much the exact same size as the LC racing MT wheels but they have even more offset to give the car a wider stance. Seem to be ok so far. See picture below

I have been using my EMB-1 Buggy at the Local 1/10 Astro track, after the fist outing, I spent a bit of time setting it up, and now it’s great round the track, quick and jumps well, a few of the guys have taken an interest too, so maybe a few more which would mean a proper race night too.

These are such versatile cars.

Local club is https://www.shrccc.co.uk

 

[froggy8]

i am thinking about getting these:

 

https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/proline-trencher-m2-mounted-on-desperado-for-erevo-1-16-414663

 

similar to the previous link i posted but smaller so the drivetrain should cope.

 

would look awesome on the lc truggy and mini 8.

this guy has the wheels what i want:

 

 

 

looks awesome!

[froggy8]

i am so tempted to convert the lc truggy to buggy, i have the conversion kit to convert to a MT but the buggy looks bit better.

 

all i would need is the bumpers, shell and wheels.

I’m not sure on the size of the Truggy wheels, the best ones I’ve used on my Buggy are the Fastrax Rally Blocks

am i seeing this right? 4 premount wheels for around 6 pound?

Yes, very cheap, will probably be a delivery charge too though👍

[bertberr]

£5.49 for a pair I believe.  BTW what diameter are these tyres - anyone have some here they could measure? 👍

You are correct, it’s a pair.

These are from Modelsport, set of 4 wheels and tyres ready to go

i thought it was for a pair at first but its got the number '4' at the side of it making me think its for 4 wheels. confusing.

[bertberr]

Yes, not the clearest listing...bit like one for a hundred quid 4s lipo I was looking at recently on a certain well known uk site - had lots of nonsense about how amazing its power was, but no dimensions...very helpful!

I have these, measured this morning.

[bertberr]

Thanks, i may pick some up for my HBX 16890 for dirt / wet mud, the stockers have no grip whatsoever.

[froggy8]

these would definitely be the wheels il get when i do convert mine to a buggy 🙂

My son has a Q901 which is one of these which comes as standard with a brushed motor and ESC. The Image linked below states this comes with a 2845 motor so you are probably ok to fit the one from an LC Racing buggy/MT.

 

 

You might be able to use one of the ESCs from the Q901 with most of your existing electronics if you do try and go down this route:

hi mate, i am thinking about doing this now and just wondered if i could use the esc that was on the original mini 8ight, i think that is only something like 32A and to pair it with the lc motor for MT.

[BigGinge]

If the esc/rx you have will physically fit and you can plug in the steering servo then I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. The servo on the one we have is a standard 3 wire part but I’m not sure if the one in the brushed version is 3 or 5 wire.

ahh no its not an esc/rx all in one, its just the esc, i would need to put rx in too.

 

il try take some pictures later mate

For those that run any of these, LC have finally released some stronger out drives, I have a couple of sets on their way. This I think is the only real weak spot on these cars, happy to be corrected though

Painted a new shell for my LC Racing EMB-1, it’s a PhatBodies Funkenblitz body and the decals are from MCI in Canada, used Tamiya Clear Pearl first then Tamiya Pearl White then Tamiya plain White, I’m still waiting for the Turbo fan discs for the wheels, and may fit some lights, happy with how it looks. It’s based on @maxisadogsname Apple Computers inc Beetle and obviously the Apple Porsche 935 K3.

Here’s my truggy, it’s the 2022 Pro version so has a carbon top deck, cvds all round, sway bars etc…

Was reading back through the thread, my old photobucket pics still work, so heres my first EMB1 buggy from nearly 10 years ago, back in the day when I could be bothered to do proper paint jobs 😂
