steephill Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I've been looking at the Contact RC Foam tyres for a 1/10 touring car (FTX banzai @Redback got some amazing speed out of his) or a Wltoys 144001. I can only find the 30mm tyres as rears and 26mm fronts. Would 30mm rear and 26mm fronts work? Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Matey, I found 30mm rubbed on the rear due to the offset (rubbed on the hub carriers) 26mm fitted all around and should do you just fine 🙂 What car is it, maybe you will be alright with 30mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate👍. I've got a few to try. Rustler 2wd, 144001, ftx banzai and probably have a go with the Hyper 7. The rustler will probably need some 1/8 foams. The 144001 and banzai are going out for testing first. Just trying to work out what tyres are going to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
