They will not fit the older axles without some modding. I am currently working on that for my A&L build.

oh man nothing can be easy ugh... lol. god i am having the hardest fricken time finding tires that will work. just want some simple sand paddles, and some single rib fronts with aluminum rims lol. guess i gotta pray for the sunday night ebay gods to bestow some auctions for me to bid on.

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

are these the same ones?

No, those enable you to fit hex drive wheels onto just about anything - even the RC10.

You need a set of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRP-1560-Rear-Wheel-Adapters-RC10-to-Truck_W0QQitemZ180164783803QQihZ008QQcategoryZ34063QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

So what is the smaller hex used for....is that Losi 4wd buggy front sized? Or is my imagination running wild.

top left on the tree is for a losi ( jrx2, jrxt, etc.). the bottom left on the tree is for the rc10 1/4" rear axles. bottom right is tamiya.

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.

You can get them at tower. And cheaper I do believe.

yep, much cheaper http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLDX7&P=M

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.
