They are on road wheels, but the redcat rims are over two inches. So they won't fit in the ABS piping without grind them down a bit.

I tried with the one i have and they are too tall. If i grind down the lips on the rims for where the regular tires mount in then they will fit in the 2" ABS Piping. Otherwise the stock lightning rims are like 2.1 inches.

I ran into the same issue using Redcats rims. I ground them down and they work fine. Thinking about it now, I should have just ran straight rims for a tank and they would probably have ground down to fit.

I am sure that would work, but i don't know how even they would be! I need it to warm up here so i can get mine out. I have the tremor car as well, took that one out a month ago and just taped the wheels. That thing is a blast to drive being it is small and you can take it anywhere!
