Thats sweet! Can you put some 2.2 wheels on there?

NiCad 06.16.2007 11:40 PM

They are 2.2 wheels. Did you mean something else?

Probably means normal truck wheels. The ones that come with the CRT.5 look more like 2.2" buggy wheels or something. The sidewalls aren't as high nor are the tires as wide as normal 2.2's.

Ya put like bow tie t. or something.

Thanks ibjammin. The steering knuckles are still plastic, correct?

Could somebody please post the part number of Proline wheels that would fit this truck and take on regular 2.2 truck tires? (hex or pin does not matter)

Thank you!
Daf

Have you ran it with those wheels yet? I am wondering how much hotter the esc and motor will get. When I used that size wheels on my zx-5 buggy the esc got real hot, that is part of the reason I sold it and am looking at a crt.5

Any RPM or Pro-Line wheels that will fit the front or rear of an electric Rustler/Stampede should work on it since they're 12mm hexes. Any Pro-Line wheels that fit a T3 or T4 with 3/16" axles will fit if you use a shorter drive pin. Here's some options:

For Hexes:

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMV44&P=7
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMV46&P=7

For Drive Pins:

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDW25&P=7
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LX2986&P=7

The difference between the front and rear versions of the RPM wheels will be how far offset they are.

If you gear it lower when increasing the size of your tires it should help if not solve the temp increase.:018:

So what pinion would you suggest for stock wheels and then what size for the bigger wheels?
