Thank you Vas and Metro Hobbies. Think it's really awesome that Pro-line and Louise are creating so many options for us RC'ers.. Think the biggest thing is now, with huge brushless systems capable of big power, is the belted tyre.. How awesome are they!!?!! To think 20+ years ago we all thought Nitro was the pinnacle of RC. we have Brushless motors the size of soup cans that have 4 times the power of a nitro engine...lol..
Cannot but love this hobby... Awesome fun.

I am looking for Pnuematic (Air Filled) Tyres ... essentially Rod Wheels for a RC Tracked Vehicle ( don't judge its an experiment)
size would be around 3" Dia ..1" wide and bearing hub ... approximate sizes , could be a bit here or there..smooth thread/tread!!
Much Thanks

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi Neville, Sadly we do not sell any pneumatic tyres. The closest we will have are Proline's Reaction, Big Daddy, or Hoosier however none of these have a bearing hub.

Excellent video. I have a 1/10 hpi jumpshot v2 and want to put some slick wheels on it for indoor use. How do I know which ones would fit and size?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Thank you for the lovely feedback! A 2.8" rim size and 12mm hex wheel should fit! Our RC team have recommended the following:

What tires are good for 1\6 truckn?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Unfortunately we do not have tyres for 1/6 scale we carry 1/8 scale 1/10 scale and 1/5 scale
but if if you want to reach out to us at [e-mail] and can give us dimensions we could possibly help you locate something :)

What's the reason for 2 different diameters for the SCT tires?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi there! It's primarily about scale, appearance and practicality. In order to keep the scale look of the small wheel diameter on the outside of the tyres, the wheels need to be bigger internally in order to allow clearance for the large steering knuckles and hubs. We hope that helps!

where to buy rc tyres with brand names printed for King Hauler

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi Dano, as much as we would love to help you out unfortunately we do not have access to custom printed tyres. We would recommend checking in with your local RC groups to see if there is anyone in your area who are able to offer this.

Is there beadlock wheels for a Traxxas Slash Vas? Don't include the sad ass Proline ones.
