I think I have seen it on a Jato, as well as an RC10GT... Some people have 17mm hub adapters and are using 1/8 scale buggy wheels. I have a set of buggy foams that I would like to put on my X-Cellerator. Does somebody make the adapters for stadium trucks, or is it just a custom mod?

Oliver_Klozov

the adapters come with the hpi rims it comes with 4 different adapters.

O.K.

Could you post a link to the product on HPI's site? Are they a direct drop-in for GT2s?

You can find most of these rims in your LHS you might want to make sure you grab a front set and a back set b/c the front needs bearings and the back doesn't don't get them mixed up.

Remember you can boil your tires off so don't buy new rims b/c your tires are shot.

You also might want to get a set of these tires or prolines

O.K.

I recently bought 2 pair of them Yokohoma tires dirt cheap.. How do you like them? I love Pro-line tires, thier Dirt hawgs and Dirt works really do well on any surface I ran on, even on above ankle level grass..

scottywilkes

those adaptors are just for diff 2.2 wheels he wants buggy wheels to fit, which run 17mm hexes, new era sell a kit for them, its $$$$ though

Oliver_Klozov

I love them i took my gt in the snow with about 6 inchs deep and my car cruised across it also great on baseball diamonds grass road what ever you want. i would accually buy the yokohamas over the prolines if i saw both in the store no matter the price. Ever bought a set of prolines for your real car ..lol I think yokohama knows about tires....

O.K.

Oliver_Klozov

look at the links i gave him im sure those are the right hex adapters

Pedsaktix

Im sure if Pro-line decided to manufacture real size tires, they would be the same league as Yokohama.... NOT! but don't kid yourself tho.. these tires aren't made by Yokohama, just because the name stamp on it doesn't mean Yoko manufactured it.. Chances are this is not even made by HPI but a third party.

Like I said I just got these tires the other day and soon after I finish my project with my .15 stocker I will sure test these babies out!

Damn! we even have it on the same wheels!
BTW, here's some hex adapters http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKSC1&P=V

Oliver_Klozov

You have the tires on wrong there directional. Or just the wrong side.

O.K.

Pedsaktix

I think I may have mounted my fronts on the wrong side but thanks for pointing it out. Tho, I haven't glued it yet.. it drives me crazy when I made a mistake like that.

scottywilkes

ok pedistix, those are not correct the 17mm hexes u linked to, they are for a MT, that have 8mm stubs.

And Oliver, those are just adaptors for different brands of cars, RC10GT has diff wheel mounting to jato etc. There still for ST wheels, not buggy

The only one that make the 17mm hex for stadium trucks is New Era, ive heard of other brands but cant think of them at the moment.
There made for diff STs to, the x cellerator uses the same mouting as a XXX-NT

Valve

Thanks Scotty, I'll check out New Era. That was the first place a thought to look, and I had breifly scanned through it but didn't see them. I'll have to check again.

Oliver, those links you posted are for 14mm hexs and truck rims. Thanks for all the responses though.

Valve

Found them. http://www.neweramodels.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?part_id=5

i reckon it should fit the X cellerator, does the x cell have the same looking pins? Maybe some could chim in who has them and show pictures of the inner side of the front and rear, that way u can see if they will work with the x cell setup

Valve

I'm sure they will. I already use T4 rims on it. I have a .28 on my X-Cellerator and I figured it might work out a little better on the pavement with a set of buggy foams on it. I use the foams on my XT2 and they hook up great. I'm getting good traction with the 2.2 tires but they are wearing pretty quick.
