As long as the rims are 2.2 rear buggy wheels, they will fit.

electricrc68

okay thanks. the inside diameter needs to be 2.2" right?

electricrc68

but in the description it says 1/8 buggy tires?

proanti1

My Feedback: (2)

Probably a typo... because 1/8 scale wheels are 3.2".

sloppyG

is the bandit the only traxxas RC to use a normal sized wheel, I thought most of their stuff used odd sizes

electricrc68

idk. i think so. the rims are 2.2"

My Feedback: (1)

Yes, it is. Unless the rusty fronts are 2.2.

electricrc68

the rusty fronts are 2.8 i think.

proanti1

My Feedback: (2)

Yeah, the rustler uses a 2.8.

anything on this page should work. prolineracing.com/1-10-buggy-tires

electricrc68

okay thanks.

You should scrap traxxas wheels, the design is flawed. The tires rip from the lip that you glue onto the rim. (It rips where you can see the tire meet the rim) I would mount proline tires on non traxxas design wheels.

Just my $.02

electricrc68

well i have only had them rip from the lip when they were extremely rundown.

meef rustler

I just had a brand new traxxas tire rip, I've also ripped all four talons on my erevo. Im just saying. It may be a better investment to stay away from traxxas wheels. One of those rips actually later caused my tire to rip in half.
Get cheap proline dish rims and some good proline calibers or dirt hawgs.

electricrc68

okay thanks.

meef rustler

With proline 4 ribs up front.

electricrc68

okay thanks. seems like a good idea i guess.

meef rustler

Velocity 2.2s are 10 bucks for the front and back. 10 bucks is cheap.

electricrc68

seriously? that is awesome if i can get them that cheap!

Nearly $10, check ebay or your lhs. Itll probably be cheaper on ebay and no shipping cost at your lhs.

electricrc68

okay thanks. hey how would i dye wheels? is there a certain paint? and what is the method?

meef rustler

I bet you could RIT dye them, painting rims would be bad. The paint would scratch off.

electricrc68

okay thanks.

electricrc68

i have another idea. if i was to put 1/8 buggy tires on the Bandit, would i need to change anything besides adding 17mm hexes? i am thinking of these unless if anyone knows of cheaper ones.
