Tires for original rims

Post by 426purplefish »

Looking at rebuilding my first RC10. It seems most are running a modern wheel tire upgrade but I prefer to use the original size rims for bashing. Does anyone know of or use an AVAILABLE tire set-up that would also look decent on the shelf?
Know if the Kyosho Scorpion/tomahawk tires fit?


It seems the Proline classic tires are long gone or super pricey.
Thanks

I happened upon some HPI wheels and tires that fit mine, but not sure which model they are from. Give me a few days and i will seeif i can figure it out. I realize this doesn't satisfy your original rim need, but might be an acceptable option.

Scorpion/tomahawk tires may fit the three piece rims but the compound might be too soft for the tire beads to stay clamped.
