DBXL tire and wheel size?

[siblues]

I am in the market for a set of wheels and tires and I would like to know the actual size of the original wheels on a DBXL and if there are any other cars/trucks that use the same size or even a bit taller tire?I am looking for a nice all around off road tire and maybe a set of on road tires with a tread?

Any losi wheel tires plus if you go madmax giant grip they 196mm tall

I would love to see some pics of wheel and tire combos on any 1/5 scales you guys/gals have?

Thanks for the quick reply Doug

So there are no (that I know of) direct replacement size tires. I use baja 5t front size. I have a set of baja 5b rears I'm going to experiment with here over winter. I know they fit with 1 inch axle extenders. Just haven't gotten to run them yet. I have them mounted on stock losi wheels so idk if they will hold up as they are made for a wider wheel. As for tires I like proline trenchers. But I have been wanting to try something else a little more available.

I run GRP minipins, Proline blockades and hostile MXTs. I have some mad Max giant grip but they grip roll too much and only get more traction than the GRPs when it's too muddy to run!

Bill what size are you running?

yeah so far so good...?...ive had them on my 1/8th's and didn't like them tbh...but these seem ok?

 

[siblues]

I am leaning towards the giant grips,big diggers and the trenchers.The trenchers are currently tickling my fancy but they are double the price of the other two options.I don't mean to be a pain but does anyone have a side by side pic of the 5ive b factory wheels and tires with any of these?I really don't want to modify anything to fit these on my DBXL but I would like to go a little bit taller on the wheel and tire combo and a hair wider wouldn't hurt but the wider part isn't necessary.

 

[DougStar]

Could but i don't feel like get out of bed and digging through my Sh!te to get the pic???????

 

[siblues]

No one out side of losi makes the correct size tires for the dbxl, that I know of. Losi 5ive wheels with Baja 5t tires are a few mm shorter then the stock dbxl tires. I don't have stock tires any more. They wore out years ago. 5ive t wheels with baja 5t rear tires. I have another set with baja 5t front tires here somewhere I'll try to find them.

That's because they are the same size ??? the dbxl/mtxl were the only losi 1/5 to use stupid size tires.

 

[evssv]

no...the 5t/sc rears r a funny size i thk?
as the 5ive foams don't seemto fill the 5t/sc tyre properly?

 

[Seandonato73]

Ah you didnt specify they were rears. The 5t fronts are the same size as losi

 

[evssv]

yeah they were a full 5t/sc set which i used my 5ive's foams?
