I was wondering if the stock Jato wheel and tire combo is the same size as the stockers on the merv?, i HATE the talon tires and i really like the anacondas on the jato and i was hoping they were the same size, could someone shed some light on this for me?
 
the jato is bigger i think..not sure about the hexes - they are 12mm on the MERV - jato might be 14mm..so not sure wheels will fit...
 
The regular 1/10 anaconda's will fit on the MERV but they are too big and you can't turn them. I have a set and put them on mine to see what they would look like, the MERV has 12 mm hexes but they are very thin and have limited space. Try some of these if you are looking for street tires.
 
the hexs are thin on the merv - i went to a set of the metal hexes that have the little screw that hold them onto the pin..those are junk..the screw never tightenes enough or they strip out..but they are thicker and allowed me to use an old a$$ set of i think blackfoot wheels or something...now they spin fine...
