Status: offline 		Gents, IMO there's no need to adapt the 1/8 scale wheel/tires to your 1/10 scale car because if you know how and what to do to your suspension, you can make the Kawahara 40mm rear tires and the 30mm fronts run like a raped ape. The Kawaharas are smaller and weigh alot less too. I originally installed 1/8 to 1/10 scale adapters on my CD3 and the bigger tires indeed worked but after making adjustment after adjustment to find the right spring/shock oil content to get those Kawaharas to hold, I ONLY use those for street use and they flat out hook and book. You need as much anti-squat and make sure you use a stiff roll bar in the rear as well. The Kawahras use the stock style hexes to bolt on but you would have to trim your body a bit to fit over the tires as they stick out farther than regular 30mm rears do.

Good luck with whatever you decide though.

Status: offline 		Yes I have some 44mm and 32mm kawaharas and they are nice! but I want to at least give the 1/8 tires a shot especially since the kawaharas look lost in my huge super nitro rs4 body.

wolfpack replied, got my order in for a set

also i need really hard foam, like 45-50 shore. to keep my tires from exploding at high speed.
