Real quick, cause im lazy, I know you can use rear wheels from a traxxas rustler, i have them now. Can you use the stampede wheels/tires?

The tires i have now are really low profile, and with the 13/18 clutchbell on my tsunami, its too much since i put the sh .18 engine in. just spins in the dirt.

I saw a set of stampede wheels tires on ebay and want to buy, they are 12mm hex but i wasnt sure about offset.

ehroof, im sure you know this one

Thanks!

By offset do you mean the distance from the outside of the wheel to the hex? I mean from the side closest to the car in.

google made it easier :-)...

Offset (ET) Explained:
This is important if you are thinking of purchasing aftermarket alloy wheels. The offset is the distance in mm between the centre line of the wheel rim, and the line through the fixing (hub) face. You can have positive (+), negative (-) or neither (0). The first important reason offset is so important is that it is ultimately responsible for the position of the wheel under the wheel arch. Get it wrong and your wheels can scrub against the bodywork, suspension or at worst not turn at all! Secondly it determines how the suspension and self-centering steering behave. The most obvious problem that will occur if you get it wrong is that the steering will either become so heavy that you can't turn the steering wheel, or so light that you need to spend all your time keeping it in a straight line.


but basically, if you have the wrong offset on the wheels, it may not clear the body. i would imagine the rustler rears and the stampede to be the same offset, but wanted to be sure before i bought a set

???? What tires do you have on those wheels?????

Syclone354

i dont remember the brand, but they are very low profile. lower even than stock rustler rear tires. they have a tread pattern similar to the tsunami stock, but are maybe only a half inch tall

Way wrong on the Tires M8...........get some pro line Gladiators, Thats about the best all round tire for the truck and bell drive set up you have[&o] and they will fit the same type of 2.2 rims you got. I personally like the HPI 2197 chrome rims and there not that expensive

are these the tires you were looking at http://www.traxxas.com/products/acce..._pair_3761.jpg

well i was on ebay and found pulled wheels and tires complete as a set from traxxas kits, they were pretty cheap and i thought they would be better than what i had.

All i want to know is if the stampede and the rustler rear wheels are the same.

bluecaka69

i believe they are

Syclone354

well i know they are 12mm hex, and the wheels seem the same as the rustler rear. i will find out soon, just bought a set of wheels/tires complete from a stampede off ebay. didnt really want to buy anything new or expensive, since im going to be ordering my avalanche very soon

cen123

Well, I think you could put the stampede tires on rustler wheels

ehroof

i use the rustler rears on my redcats, these are pics with the rustler rears and gladiator tires.

Syclone354

Well i got the wheels today and put them on. looks real mean, might be a little too much, but ill find out tomorrow. Here are a couple pics...

Rustler Rears w/ short tires


Stock Stampede wheels/tires


fyi the front and rear stampede wheels are different, and the fronts are not offset as much, they still clear, but it would work better with rears all the way around.

Nice.

ehroof

how did you get the fronts to work , the stampede is 2wd and i would have thought the fronts wouldnt have 12mm hex's on them, the stampede setup looks real nice.

pede_187

The stampede wheels are 12mm all around.

Syclone354

yea they are all 12mm hex, but the fronts are offset a little different, they dont stick out quite as far. they can touch the pipe if its cut all the way to the right and the suspension is completely bottomed, but other than that they clear. ill see how they run tomorrow. hope its still ok with the 13/18 and the sh motor

i have the stock stampede tires from the original stampede, would he fit on stock tornado bb rims? and not rub? i want more ground clearnce

Syclone354

i have no idea, im sure someone does.

arent buggie wheels real thin though? I know if the tires you have are anything like the ones i have they would be way to wide

d3d5

ok i also have rims but the front rims dont work from the stampede but the rear ones do so if anything i will get 2 more rear ones.

i'm planning on making a monster buggy lol going to get longer shocks try to get longer a-arms and longer dog-bones so i can raise it up higher then when my engine goes a new engine and maybe other stuff that i will need.

pede_187

Did you try to put them on yet?

d3d5

syclone was right the tires r way to wide for the buggy rims so i will pick up 2 more rims and throw them on there
