Kpowell911 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I must admit Im really struggling here. Any chance you can take the wheel off and grab a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Not sure exactly what size wheels/tires you need, so take this more as a suggestion for something to look into rather than an actual recommendation, but would either of the road/off-road tyre sets for the HPI WR8 fit onto your existing rims? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hpi-wr8-tarmac-tire-d-comp-22-quot-57x80mm-2pcs--370510 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hpi-wr8-rally-off-road-tire-19-2pcs--370087 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 They ‘look’ like 12mm hex’s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPeaski Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Think they're closer to 17mm. You ca import a pic into Fusion 360 and use it as a canvas, when scaled correctly you can use it to pretty accurately draw scale parts. Using that, the hex come in at around 17 as this pic would suggest Doing a google the landmax 2 was a 1/8 scale so 17mm does seem more likely I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I found replacement tyres in Japan but they were £140 a pair, youre really going to struggle to obtain anything for this as its such an old vehicle it appears. Im wondering if you can do some sort of 17mm hex conversion and run GRP style wheels and tyres, but this isnt going to be cheap either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock hubs are 19mm based on the pdf download on this page https://www.classic.rc-junkies.net/?p=549 The inferno MP7.5 used 17mm hexes so maybe you could change the hex fitting to one from a 1/8th buggy, but I don't know of any wheels the right size with a 17mm hex, they would be too large.

Kpowell911 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I THINK this is a Landmax with a traditional 17mm hex set up and what look like GRP’s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
