Status: offline 		rpm 9/16"claw wheels fit the hub but they are not deep enough for the the tires i bought. the tires rub when you tighten the down, but the rims will go to use because i just got a rc10gt from my friend for $60, but it needs some work, like a spur gear, a charger for the power pack, and maybe servos.

2.2 rpm claws are not deep enough for the volcano i just bought a set and my tires would rub on the stering arms and the rear a arm.

Man, I wish I would have known that before I ordered mine!! Anyway, I just tried to put mine on, and yep they rub alright. I got the RPM Claws (rear), and Pro Line Moab 2.2 tires. My question is should I sent the unopened rims or tires back?? Here's some pics just so y'all can see it for yourselves...

Heres a side view...
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k57/nantucket10/DSCN0291.jpg

The rear A-arm problem...
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k57/nantucket10/FSCN0290.jpg

And the steering arm problem...
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k57/nantucket10/DSCN0287.jpg

So what do you guys think? Is it the rims or the tires causing the problem?? Thanks a bunch!!

Hope you can get the fitment issues worked out.

Nice rig BTW as well!

Status: offline 		try a couple of washers between the rim and the hex, enough to clear, it seems like the tires are the problem on the linkages.

that was my first thought but the hub on the rim is so deep there is bearly enough room to tighten the rim down without any washer at all but if you figure somthing out let me know

Status: offline 		i can put the rustler rears on and have plenty of thread and they dont rub, the rears did a tiny bit on the inside of the spokes and i just used my dremel to fix that, i just realized that you have the sv and i have the stx, maybe there is a difference between the two for the rims. if they dont fit and you cant use them i buy them from you if you want since they will fit my volcano or tsunami.

Thanks Mini, I'm gonna keep the stock wheels and tires just to have a spare set, and I'm probably gonna go with the whees that abjones has on his Volcano since he hasn't mentioned anything about them rubbing. We'll see what happens!!
