Biggest wheels and tires for the HPI Blitz?
Hi, I'm trying to revive my old blitz and I want to customize it a little.
I want to get the biggest tires and wheels that will fit on it (it has 12mm hexs)
I'm going for a monster truck look.
I'm thinking big joes or mud thrashers or some 8th scale tires.
I'm also planning on putting a stadium truck or monster truck body on it.
Post up your recommendations and any pics of yours.

8th scale tires would need adapters to make them work.
Biggest tires for 1/10th scale that would probably fit (of course you will either have to modify the body, or get a different body to make em fit) would probably be masher 2ks other issue is you will have to gear down some or risk frying the electronics.

blitz with mashers
I found a pic of a blitz with mashers.
I'm not sure what size to get and what rims?
I found 2.2 mashers and 2.8 masher , 3.2 and 3.8
What size should I go with and what rims should i put them on I want them to stick out pretty far.
And I'm planning on putting a small body on it like a monster truck or a stadium truck or buggy.

2.2s fit 12mm hex rims like the opnes for the Wheeliy king(what they are marketed as by HPI) I've used a few times with them.
in that pic you linked I would guess those are the 2.2's as the larger ones look a bit different

SCT truck wheelbase and width matches up pretty well to Monster Truck bodies so that's the route I'd go. Stadium is going to too short and possibly not wide enough. I'd stay with the 12mm hex and look at 2.2 or 2.8 wheels to keep the weight down. There's also more options for wider offset wheels in 2.2 or 2.8 wheels. Have a look at electric Rustler/Stampede wheels as they are pretty wide offset, 12mm hex and abundantly available.

agree on the bodies
just threw the longest ST body I know of (HPI MT2) on my SCT, and the body was way too short for wheelbase. A HPI savage body was IMO a tiny bit too short, but still looked ok.
