Default 1/10 off-road tires on RC18?

Hey guys need some suggestions to know if this is possible or not. I like running 1/10 tires on my mini because of the vast variety to choose from, but dont want to stay on-road. I want to know if there is any 1/10 off-road tire that will fit the RC18 before I go and buy another on-road set. I was looking at some mt tires but each might be bigger than my mini [X(]

So did anybody try it?

Quick reply would be much appreciated

Yeah, Sup Inverted

Ok guys.. Nevermind on the last question. What other off-road tires could I run other than the stock mt tires.

I just got tired of pin drive. Its just to fragile to put in and I keep making other grooves in the slot for the pin which rewen it completely.[:@]

So Are there any other off-road tires for my mini RC18 that run on hex drive?

remember the adaptors are for touring car wheels not very off-road but i have seen these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Blue-Chrome-1-...QQcmdZViewItem
maybe rally tyres would work?

Thats actually a good idea...... Thanks Mitchell91

Since rally tires are the same size as touring wheels just with a different type of rubber they would work great. Guess I'll be the first to try
