    Default larger RC18 wheels

    How do I go about installing larger wheels and tires on my RC18B?

    How big is large? I could see you needing to re gear, and go with bigger adapters.

    If I recall correctly on my rc18's they have a "pin type" drives like Losi. Maybe look into Mini LST or rc18mt wheels.
    Not sure about the Losi's axle size and so on, but it might work. I like throwin beefie wheels on stadium trucks n buggies. Gives that killer ground clearence and still keeps the handling of the lower center of gravity

    ^^^ do what rc addict just mentioned above.. As I recall, the rc18 has pins like the hpi mini recon. We did it to a friend of mines mini recon and put on mini sct tires.. The center hole needs to be drilled to size then they slide right on.

    yes, it does have pins..... however, the R edition has a smaller length shaft, so the regular MT tires. or T wheels wont work..... what you need is 12mm hexes from a mini revo, and then any rim you want.... you could easily add 1/10th scale touring car wheels and tires to it.....
