tech question on tamiya rims for rc10

[germanrc10gt]

hi guys,

i'm currently rebuilding a halsey rc10. today i put the front black proline wheels on.
since i also have the black rear rims for the sand scorcher/frog, i wanted to put them on the rear axles.

i used the crp adapters

unfortunately i had to learn that the stock rc10 rear axles are way too short for that type of rims. i can't even mount the nut. i assume crp knew of that problem otherwise these adapters were useless, so there must be a way to mount tamiya wheels. what am i doing wrong, or what axles do i need to make these fit

thanks

regards volker

i'd guess you probably need a pair of those shanked wheel nuts to be able to make up the difference.

hi scr8p

honestly speaking i don't know what your are talking of... "those shanked wheel nuts"

[clinehobbies]

Are these them if they are they are yours

first off, the wheel nuts in this link are just for reference. they will NOT work for your application. i just want to make that clear.

this is more or less what your gonna need. i did some searching, but i couldn't find any that will work for ya. the ones that A&L had back in the day for their monster truck wheels might work.

bill......... ya beat me to it.

if the ones you have fit in a tamiya rim, and screw on to an rc10 rear axle, they should work for him.

since i guess you know what you are talking of i'll try that.
thank you guys, this forum is awesome
