Default Wheel & tyre upgrade for TNX

Any of you guys have pictures of your aftermarket wheel and tyre combos for your TNX's? I'm looking for some black spoked wheels and multi-surface tyres for my TNX.....which size etc do I need? I drive mainly on sand at the moment, but also on dirt and grass. Any suggestions/pictures?

Anything that will fit a t-maxx and has 14mm hex will work. [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJLF7&P=7]Here[/link] are some black spoke wheels that should fit. As for tires, I've always like the older stock [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDLB2&P=ML]Savage tires[/link] for general bashing. But there are plenty of other options.

This is an OFNA hyper 7 wing that i painted black instead of green.

The wing mount is Tekno RC wing mount for t-maxx.

I'm glad you liked it.

Not really, i only needed to cut some small plastic chips (where the electric starter bolts) to make my wing straight.

I'll try to post a pic of a close up this evenig. (i'm at job right now)

Is that entirely connected to that top bar? Do you have a picture of how it is mounted from the back side?

I think that originally there is 2 screws in the bottom that fit on the t-maxx. On the TNx you cant screw those two at the bottom. I,ve tight wrap them and it works pretty well. If they do broke, they are cheap to replace and wont make the wing fall apart if they go out, they are there as a support role.

Here's the pic.
