HPI split spoke wheels... not available for front?
 

Are these as well as the spike wheels only available for rears? All the other HPI wheels have fronts available but these seem to not.. as of yet anyway.

looks like most 2wd trucks are SOL.

Read the last line from your link dude :

"COMMENTS: Four wheel drive trucks will use these rear rims on the front also."

For both ends

Notice I said 2WD. They dont mount the same.

Just get them for the front too and if you have to modify them that is the price to pay for what you want it to look like.

pretty hard to modify in some bearing races...

Hey I know tons of people who have to modify much harder things than rims. Rims are about the easiest things to modify. Show me how they dont fit and Ill see if I can find a solution

sigh, have you much experience with 2wd trucks? Take a rear wheel from a RC10GT and show me how you can mount it on the front. On these trucks the bearings go in the wheel, one on the inside, one on the outside. If the proper recesses are not there to fit the bearings it just wont work.

My experience is I own a Nitro Evader St. I just have never really taken a look inside the wheels. I see your point I will get back to you on that.

I know what you mean cruuk. I wanted those rims too but I couldnt find fronts so I bought some white different style rims and dyed them black.

The Evader uses the same or very similar wheels to the GT.. no biggie man. Im sure it could be done if you want to glue in some inserts and then drill them out with a drillpress and be very precise about it but its much easier to just get wheels that fit.

Yea looks like they only have them in rears for the time being.. crappy deal. What ones did you get in white?

RE: HPI split spoke wheels... not available for front?
 

Yeah at the moment I really cant think of any way to modify them. But I'm just tired because its getting late.
