They will not fit the older axles without some modding. I am currently working on that for my A&L build.mikedealer wrote:excellent, thanks for the link...

If it is paddles you want and they are 1.5 Tammies, those will go nicely on the original three piece associated rims.

These are the Grasshopper reissues. Check out my perty shox

No, those enable you to fit hex drive wheels onto just about anything - even the RC10.mikedealer wrote:excellent, thanks for the link...

All the hexes are the same size. They are designed for the HPI Super Star truck wheels which have a standard 12mm hex, but those wheels have a 5mm hole in the centre which is why the hexes have the extra ring moulded into the front.

Re: Damnit why are Tamiya Tires So Good Looking
Doesn't Tower charge flat rate shipping regardless of size, for like $8.99 or something similar..... if that is the case, it pretty much a wash.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.
