Here are some visual pics of the difference between the height of the:

Proline 40 series Big Joes on Mambos
Stock LST

I don't have any Hot Bodies tires in stock or I would have weighed them.

Thanks for the info Brushless and Dowa, that was just what I was looking for.

Are the rim's about the same size? I'm wondering since the wheels have different widths? Do they glue up ok if some wheels are 6 and 3/4", while other's are 6 and 1/4", 6" and the 40 series are 5 and 3/4"? I guess the wider wheels just "bulge" out a little more with the narrower wheels? I'm assuming the 40 series are a whole different ball game anyways. Thanks[8D]

Default RE: Different tire weights and sizes

Are the stock hex's really a weak point? I think this is why Pro-Line made their 23mm adaptors?So in searching for tire/wheel options for my truck, i'm wondering if I should invest in another Losi wheel or go straight to the Pro-Line set-up? Any suggestions?

I've been told the T-Maxx rims fit the LST hex. Is this a good option?

I don't mind those 40 series tires, it's just these MT wheels and tires are a decent size investment. Maybe the Bow Ties or Panther Pythons?

Thanks[8D]
