Tug Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Any old Truggy rim with a 17mm hex, off-set optional. Don't go too big with the tyres, Badlands are popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty97 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Yes I was looking at badlands but they come in 2.8” or 3.8”?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hyper ST is 1:8 so I think you will want to be looking at the 3.8 version. I know they're a bit more boring, but these are super tough wheels: https://www.rprcdistribution.com/product-page/6mik-rapid-t-pre-glued-truggy-tyre-0-18-astro-pair I quite like wheels with little pins as they DONT grip as much. I find that I have a lot more control of the car when turning at speeds if they can skid around, rather than grip and end up traction rolling onto the shell.... just my preference though, badlands, backflips, and similar knobbly tires are popular for a good reason, and they are very good.

Tug Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Yes, 3.8 for a Truggy. I'd definitely go for off-set. Don't get Monster Truck tyres, they're too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
