I have some bead locks with Bow Tie Tires. They were alright, ballooned to ridiculous heights, so I belted the tires. This gives a far better contact patch, improved traction which improved acceleration. They are crazy heavy though... I want to experiment with a lighter option. I want some dish wheels with bow ties. But according to my trusted LHS Pro-line does not make dishes for monster trucks anymore. I went to their web site and I only see spoked rims for monster trucks. I want the dishes to avoid mud build up. So, what gives... anyone else make dish rims? I see the Traxxas Platinums... but they are spendy, and I don't know if replacement tires from Pro-Line can be mounted on Traxxas wheels.

you can get proline wheel 1/2' offset 3.7 wheel and mount proline lrp tires
or you might find the older 3.2 wheels and mount bowtie mt tires( wider tire)
or you could make me an offer I can't refuse and a set of proline bowties mt mounted on proline 1/2 offset wheels.

Get a set of the Traxxas 17mm hubs for the Revo and the whole truggy tire/wheel combo will open up to you.
You can also go with the inexpensive Maximizer 17mm adapters and you won't need a 17mm wrench.

Yep, go with the 17mm conversion. Took my Revo from a low level racer to a much better performer. It really was like night and day.
