Wheel hexes, I couldn't be more confused.

just found this guy selling the proline for half: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Baja-5T-5SC-Truck-5B-SS-Buggy-Off-Road-Knobby-Dirt-Tires-Wheels-HPI-Rovan-KM-/251041823281?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a73423a31

might be worth it to get some wheels out of it.

Those are clone wheels. Not real PL's.

Yeah, Rovans. Ive never tried them, so not sure on the life expectancy.

What's the story w/ the dune runner wheels, are they non standard too?

Yes the DR and MT both use a 22mm adapter.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Is the diameter of the wheel specific to redcat tires? Can I run losi, hpi, or pl tires on dr wheels?

 

[Guest]

Gotcha, unfortunately the answer to that question is the same. They only work with the tires that come on them. Most Redcat owners run the Baja wheels and tires. That gives the largest selection.

 

[Guest]

The newer MCD wheels are 24mm hex also.

The stock wheels will only work with stock tires. No other options.

So has any one raced a losi-5 against a redcat 4x4 truck?

That site is a nightmare to navigate.

I agree. That is the WORST search engine I've ever seen!

I believe Rob has.

A friend of mine has a brand new Baja buggy. We'll be running as soon I get my DR off the Big Brown Truck. Bashing, but it'll be fun! And it's all his fault! Keeping it on shelf behind the counter in the shop, surrounded by 1/10 stuff. Couldn't resist... Just call me a Guppy! Hook, line and sinker!

 

[Deluge1]

Awesome. Nothing like a good bash session!
