guge999 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 basically i would like to know if there is any way of fitting 1.10th wheels onto my 1.18th losi mini - t . Would like a little more ground clearance . https://www.rcspares.com/rc/store/product/maverick-110-touring-car-24mm-mounted-rubber-tyres-110-buggy-wheels-tyres-118-truck-wheels-tyres-118-mounted-truck-tyres/maverick-118-truggy-wheel-and-tyre-assembly-ion-xt-mv28047 Anything like this i think would be cool as hell, there doesnt seem to be space for bearings though? do i need a hex adapter? can anyone clear this up ? cheers.

johninderby Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) An alternative is to make your own. For the front use regular 12mm hexes and drill out the centre hole to 8mm and fit flanged bearings. And use some teflon washers so there's no binding. Traxxas does them. Best to drill out the hole by one drill bit size larger than the hole at a time. Don't try to drill the 8mm hole in one go or it's probably going to go off centre. Oh and get some spare hexes in case you don't get the hole drilled right first time or two. Flanged 4x8x3 bearingshttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-4pcs-4x8x3MM-BALL-BEARING-with-FLANGE-FOR-TAMIYA-KYOSHO-TRAXXAS-HPI-/281192340628?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item41785e9c94 At the back just use Losi mini crawler hexes as they have the 4mm bore and fit the tiny pins in the minis.http://www.modelsport.co.uk/losi-mini-rock-crawler-12mm-wheels-hex-set-4-/rc-car-products/380079 John Edited March 6, 2014 by johninderby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not particularly handy with a drill, but i think ill give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I'm waiting for a set of these Axial hexes to arrive and see if they're suitable to do the conversion with. Prefer drilling out holes in alloy as it's easier to keep cantered than in plastic. Want to see if the slots in the back of the hexes fit the pins properly on the rears. Anyway I'll see how it goes.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130860081932 John Edited March 7, 2014 by johninderby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I reckon all I need is a good 1/10th set of tyres Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guge999 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 I think the black things are adapters so the front ones dit Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank-uk Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I have just got an ftx colt which already has a 12mm hex. So am i right in thinking that any 1/10 wheel with a 12mm hex will fit straight on ?I have just got an ftx colt which already has a 12mm hex.

Alex97 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 As long as they are 12mm then yes. Get some 1/10 rally tires. They will be bigger and me great off road. Don't go any bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank-uk Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Awesome thanks mate. Was going to get some on road wheels and tyres for it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You may need to gear down, as the new rims are far bigger and heavier.... When you fit them, do some test runs to gauge motor and ESC temps, adjust gearing accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank-uk Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Would that be the pinion gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 It would indeed. Advisable to get a few in, so that you have the options immediately available should the first choice not be right....lower tooth number than is currently fitted. The other option is to fit a larger spur, if one is available; pinions is the usual way to go though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
