Your best bet is to look into (www.New era models.com) they make 14mm-wheel adapters to fit traxxas wheels on the gst7.7 and nemesis!!!!!!![sm=shades_smile.gif] I think it runs for about $40 bucks. But keep in mind that not only taxxas wheels fit on the 14mm adapters, But the swap wheels as well, just as long that it is 14mm. The company that makes those wheels is Imex. I hope this can help you, GoodLuck.[sm=thumbup.gif]

I would stay away from the 14mm with the GST or the Nemesis 7.7. The smaller wheel hexes can not handle the torque and will strip out. I would go with 17mm or 23mm, 17mm will give you more wheel and tire options than 23mm

What rims would you recomend with the swamp kong tires (stock are 4" wide). I agree that the 14 mm rims will be toast after a couple of runs. My money might be better spent on better wheels than adaptors.

How's this for agressive? I thing the tires go good with the size of the truck. I only mocked up the left front and rear for the pics.

yeah i wanted to mention this earlier but i did not know what the kong rims were made out of so it is far better to keep mouth closed and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt... if the rims were alluminum they would prob. be fine but not if they are plastic
