Default Rims

I know this has probably been talked about already, but what size wheel fits on the Volcano? I know that it has to be a 12mm hex, but what size is the rim?
I'd like to know so i could pick some up at my LHS. They carry Traxxas so do any traxxas rims fit the volcano?

use traxxas NITRO rustler rims
direct fit but make sure that they are the NITRO rustler not the electric.
if you use those rims they will be much smaller than the stock ones, with tires

2.8 jato rims and tires, you would need 4 rears, also most rustler 2.2 rears will fit, here is a picture of my volcano with rustler rears and pro line gladiator tires

Do those tires look really small on that volcano, or is that just me?

not the cheapest rims but they do have a lifetime warantee and they look awesome. check out the website or email them and they can give you a price.

HPI 2.2 inch rims and Proline Mashers (Medium Compound) are good for Bashin.

These Tires end up Being the Same Height as the STOCK Volcano Rims/Tires.
