hpi wheels

[renbar]

im going to change from fg wheels and tyres want go hpi ive found the adapters i want as i need to keep the front discs most adapters wont allow this im looking at the hpi 5t outlaw wheels but what i need to know is are the rears wider than the fronts which is what im after i want to run hostile mxs on the rear and anything on the front standard dirt busters will be fine

XRC wheels will go straight on and hpi tyre fit them. No need for adaptors.

the sqaures have a metal ring around them so they should be ok. they are about £80 for all four with tyres from rcmodelz

The XRC wheels use beadlocks. Hostiles would go straight on

can i just buy the xrc rims with no tyres but then for the price i may as well just use them till the stock tyres fall off

my bro, got a two speed marder his glued tyres come off every time he,s out:lol::lol::lol::lol:

once they have come unglued they don't seem to glue back the same ive found im going to change them now the glues one reason but the main is tyre choice hpi type theres so many to chose from plus ive never heard of hpi/km rims rounding the drive hex plus they look good with some of the alloy beadlocks avilable

 

[renbar]

just had a look on rcmodels for wheels they work out just under £56 for 4 with tyres im going to give the a try after the new year then change the rear tyres after there shot to hostiles cheers mac this works out cheaper than just the adapters i was planning on getting

I made my own adaptors using a bolt and hpi hubs







I use to run paddles but only run hostiles now. What I don't like is the inside of the rims fill with dirt and cause an unbalance. I also changed to MT gearing because the HPI wheels are much larger in diameter.

You can solve the problem of the dirt in the wheel by making some "scrapers"

ive been running the wheel wizards for well over 40 tanks without even the slightest issue. ive also recently installed a FG tuning brake it and went on like clockwork. bit pricey but top quality and never an issue.

I use the uber wheel adapters on my FG and MCD with no problems!
