Yrkoon Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) looking at easy to buy street wheels/tyres that i have, would i be able to use a hex adapter on my mini b, 1/10 touring car ones have a larger diameter not by much and less width, would a hex adapter work? and a massive washer for the wheel nut to screw into as the touring car wheels have a massive bolt compared to the tiny one? dunno im drunk, just trying to work out how to deal with my now slicks on the back of the mini b and on the cheap before they start shredding lol 🙂 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/fastrax-1-10-street-tread-tyre-10-spoke-neon-yellow-wheels-393449 something like them on the back is what im thinking but how to go about it? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/losi-1-16-mini-b-brushed-rtr-2wd-buggy-yellow-1334252 Edited December 14, 2021 by Yrkoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) imagine it would just alter the gearing ie over geared i would think brother those rims are 12mms whats the b hexes? have put different wheels on most my rcs over the years for giggles usually smaller rims make it under geared so watch the heat and larger would make it over geared same just watch the temps i ran my savvy on 1/10 wheels once haha 🤣 drifted great but had hardly any top end speed also need to watch the rear arms wont rub the rim too 👍 Edited December 14, 2021 by Bajadre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajadre Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 ive used those 3d printed ones before on 12-14mms and they worked great even at 3s brother so shouldnt have any problems and less to go wrong than with some adapter you can buy 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrkoon Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) the hex adapters came earlier so i will use the rest of the original tyres which are now slicks, then see if the hexes fit, i will get pics once i put non standard wheels on it 🙂 Edited February 3, 2022 by Yrkoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yrkoon Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) the hex adapters worked fine but the car just kept spinning out so i put the originals back on it lol thinking of these ones next when their in stock https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/jconcepts-scorpios-mini-t-20-green-compound-pre-mounted-on-wheels-2-yellow-1344653 they look the part any way and i could try softer more grippy touring car tyres as well 🙂 any one have experience with they scorpio tyres with street use? any good? set up stock notifications for model sport and wheel spin for they scorpio ones 🙂 Edited July 5, 2022 by Yrkoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
