These duratrax maximum BX rear wheels look like a perfect alternative for the 2.0 wide offset wheels found on turbo ultima , optima mid custom sepecial and everything inbetween.

I think I saw an exploded view showing hexes also.. but are they 12 mm and are these wheels 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2 ???

the fronts for these are real narrow: good for 2 wheel drive only, but I'd just rim the inner bead for 4wd fronts

Thanks for pointing those out. I'll pick up a set of fronts and backs to see what they fit.

The fronts don't have a space to put bearings. I think they are good for the front of an RB5 but too narrow for the ZX5 and other 4wd's.
