Default Anyway to use 1/10 tires?

kinda stupid i know but i have a ton of 1/10 scale tires and its probably cheaper to get adapters then it is to buy new street tires for my buggy!

So are there adapters?

Because the axles on an 1/8 buggy are almost 12mm by themselves, you'd have to get new, smaller, stub axles, new driveshafts to fit the stub axles, new bearings to fit the stub axles, etc, etc...

What did you say was cheaper?

better off selling the 10 scale tires to buy 1/8 ones,No point on re inventing the wheel at a higher cost then buying them

you could probably make something with a 12mm hex head bolt maybe? if your good with metal work that is.

wouldnt be too hard to make if you had some decent equipment (mill, taps, etc...), although i would think someone produces them already. havent seen any though.
