Spare Parts Tyres or Wheels for BS701G-R

[Simon Hester]

Hi 

I have an older BS701G-R  and I'm looking for a replacement set of front tyres?

 

This car in terms of spare parts but they don't have in stock tyres. https://www.centuryuk.com/Spares/Car-Spares/Prime-Assault

Does anyone have any good recommendation on where i can pick up a set of spare tyres or wheels if it is better to get the whole wheel with tyre. 

Thanks

First thing to check is the size of the wheel hexes, and then check the tyres diameter.

 

There shouldn;t be a need to buy wheels/tyres designed specifically for the buggy, as generally tyres are made to a variety of standard sizes based on scale and type.

 

so...for example....if you have a 1/10 scale buggy ..... most good model stockist ( Modelsport, Wheelspin etc. ) will give you options to narrow down the choices.

so:  https://www.modelsport.co.uk/wheels-tyres/wheels-tyre-sets/buggy/110?

 

If you then need specifics...go to the info tab, and it will usually give you the tyre dioameter and wheel hex size.

 

so: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/fastrax-1-10th-mounted-cuboid-black-buggy-wheels-and-tyres-front-434084

 

these are 12mm hex, 2.2" in diameter.

 

Check that against what you have, and it should give you a good idea if they are right. You can also find different wheel styles, on road tyres, and varying off road tyres depending on the sort of surfaces you run on. Once you know the basic size, type of fitment and the like, you will usually find many options out there.

Picking up this topic again and finally looking to buy some wheels/ tyres. 

My current wheels and tyres are glued together? Can i remove the old tyres and glue new ones on? Or is it as case of I need to buy whole new wheels and tyres. 

Do i need to replace all 4 my rear tyres are ok so it is just the fronts really well only one side as it happens. 

 

As by Nitroholic I checked and have 1/10th scale and the currently wheels are 2.8 inch the front are only 1.5 inch wide and the rears are 2  inch wide. 

I will typically be driving on tarmac, gravel an on some grassed fields where the grass is short.

 

My current front tyres are similar to this if not the same although this doe snot show a width.
