Buggy wheels?

[newbie_version1]

So, how many peeps plan on switchin' to 1/8th scale buggy wheels on these things, like on the 2wheel version?
I'm not sure, I want to run it stock for awhile first, when it finally gets here :cool:

I'm thinking of these rims, but I need to find a tire to fit them...

I think, while those look nice, will NOT work due to the 1/2" offset .... they will hit the body.

Unless ..... You find a set of 17mm adapters that move the mounting hex inwards 1/2" more than the adapters designed for the slash.

If you do, let me know too .....

yeah, I'm just tryin' to find a good set of green rims. Not too keen on having to dye them myself.
I've found a set of regular buggy rims that come in green... :cool:

i think the buggy wheels kill the look of the truck, they look really goofy when people do that. The AE wheels would look good perhaps.

good point. the only reason i'm leaning towards the buggy wheels are the range of selection and because i'm gonna convert it to one.

i have to admit, they look goofy wagon wheels, but they perform very well

[Orgnoi1]

Really depends on your choice in wheels... ;)

I like the Skinny from CKRC but they look a little heavy and are a little pricey.

They also sell different color beadlock rings.

I went with 30series badlands..... I hope they fit without too much trimming needed.

Pix of body, and wheels waitin' the truck...
