Hi All,
My hong nor now has a .32 engine in it and am losing traction with the poor grip of the standard tyres, I want a spare set anyway so would like to get some new rims with some grippy tyres with big tread for muddy tracks and bashing, any ideas of what are good and where's the best place to get them from?
17mm hex fittings
Many thanks
David

Hi Ianski
Thank u, I have no idea of the size of my rims I know they are 17mm hex in the middle just the standard ones that came with it .
I do want to buy the rims with the tyres so I have two sets where can I get the proline angled spikes from? Is that better than the tyres that look like tractor tyres :-)

Proline angled spikes are amazing tires! the best place to get them from is online! lol. Search them on ebay, i got some second hand ones dirt cheap, and there is nothing wrong with them!

Hi
Thanks guys the angled spikes look good although the only ones I can find are for buggies and look too small for my truggy, Marc those knuckles look good I saw some pro line monster Joes that look good too, off to e bay now lol

Yeh i like the knuckle tires too mate, would be good for the mud :)
You made a good point there, about most of the wheels being made for buggies, the truggy wheels on your X1X CRT truggy do look quite a bit wider then the buggy ones..
Dont for get to show us what you go for mate B) :thumbs_up:

the best truggy wet tyres are XTM grinders on hobao STpro wheels or traxxas MTpro wheels. been using these for a long time on track and elsewhere for wet weather
