wiggy2k7 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hi guys, I've recently bought a Kyosho DRX VE, just wondering what wheel and tyres to buy to use on road/tarmac surface. They seem a bit of an odd size. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 They're 1/8 size (in circumference, not width) 12mm hex. The foams are stapled on the stock ones so they blow out pretty quick Most 1/8 rally wheels will be ok, as are 1/10 short course wheels (which look great too) Just make sure your next wheels are 12mm hex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy2k7 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Thanks, i'll keep looking but all the wheel/tyre sets i find seem to be too big or too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) Easiest option is some bog standard short course 12mm hex wheels Edited May 1, 2018 by Fly In My Soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to find some with the 12mm hex 17mm wheel adaptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Hmmm... i suppose you could yes....just ensure you get wheels close to the original diameter in size. The reason i suggested sc wheels as the diameter and width is similar to original....if youre not careful you can end up with it looking like one of those ftx/bsr rally cars with wheels too big for the shell Edited May 5, 2018 by Fly In My Soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMaxxDave Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 They are 1/9scale and unique sized to the DRX. My mate has one and we found the best option was to go for 1/8th sized wheels and tyres. They are a little big if you want a scale look. But for actual use and driving they are perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
