Good luck! I've found a few sets on Ebay, sometimes they are pricey, other times they are not. Took me about a year of on and off looking on Ebay to find 4. Found 2, then 2 more can't wait to try them out this winter! They are Pro-line Slingshots for the 1/8 Buggy...

Goodluck!

Will the Pro-line sand paw 2.2 fit on a 1/8 rim?
Also the Imex paddle 2.8 from a Jato?

The 2.2 sand paw is too small and too wide and the bead is the wrong style. The Jato ones are closer in diameter but still too wide and they, too, don't have the proper bead style. I saw a place on the bay that had 5 pairs of the Proline Slingshots available...

Yes you are right[sm=49_49.gif], I just buy two pairs[sm=lol.gif] if you can take a look is only 3 pairs remaining. I will tell you something in Puerto Rico you will never find this tires ever....[sm=confused_smile.gif] we have to customize the monster truck paddle tires, and we do it but, I want the right size a perfect fix without modifications......

Take a look our drag track, 1/8 buggy's with customize paddle tires:[sm=wink_smile.gif]
