Truggys

[dougc]

I have a 9.5 and I want to turn it into a truggy. but I am stuck I can't seem to find any hubs for the buggy to fit savage tires.I have seen the hubs where you can add buggy tires to your t-maxx but not what I need. The only thing I found was these http://www.maximizerproducts.com/misc.html But you need offset wheels to get those to work. If anyone can help me please post.

Have you looked att Dominator Wheels. If you use them you can avoid the wheel adapters altogether/

nitrohouse has a good selection of wheels that fit 14mm 1/8 buggy hubs and t-maxx/savage size tires.

scroll down to 1/8 scale rims. They are made to fit a buggy and have an insert for the t-maxx or savage. I have a set of these and they do fit the 1/8 scale

It's possible that the SUT (Storm Unlimited Truck) wheel hubs will fit your buggy, allowing you to hook up T-Maxx rims directly. I am not sure if these are the same as Savage rims though. They don't require offset wheels.

I'd try to find out if they'd fit. My guess is that they would. They would replace the wheel hubs you have on there now, and they are long with a different connect at the end.

I tryed to get that part for the SUT and didnt find it. But I am going to keep looking for it because it looks like it would fit.
Does this look like it will work?

Ofna makes 17mm truck wheels. Take a look at my gallery to see my truggy. I did mine just for the kewl factor but bought a Savage in the end.

See the whole point it I want to use the wheels I have for my savage... That way I dont have to buy more wheels becasue I plan on keeping this buggy a truggy.

Horizon *should* have it, but their parts aren't always grouped right and their search doesn't always hit when it should.

I'll take a look around, I'm sure we can find them somewhere.

I went to my lhs and told them what I wanted and gave them the part number I had found.... but they didnt find the SUT hubs at all. Sort of sad... I know ebay has them but I dont use ebay.

You're missing out if you don't use eBay. I've gotten tons of parts for my Storm at unbelievably low prices. I have a whole stock of spare parts that I was able to get for cheap. And it's sweet when you can get something eBay style when everyone else is out of stock.

Not everything goes for cheap, but a lot of it does, and it's easier to find good deals on something when you don't specifically need the part right away =)

Yea ebay is good but its the people on ebay, The last time ibought something from someeone online I got riped off I sent the product back for a refund or a new one and still havnt got it back. I know not everyone rips you off but I dont want to take that risk again.
