As far as truggy tires and wheels go, your going to be best off getting pre mounted AKA tires. The softness/hardness of the tire you get from them varies from what surface you drive on.

Any links please?

Go with the ofna adapters

Would those work on my tmaxx classic?
Or is it a different thing I'm looking at

they will work but the problem with them is they develop wear where the threaded part of the driveshaft is a the wheel will wobble at higher speed,teflon tape around the thread will take out some of the slack but there are better sets out there they just cost a bit more

 

[ayoitsjus10]

And what sets are better which ones do u reccomend

 

[chickenman242]

myself i use the traxxas ones,i just use a bit of teflon tape but like rob said eariler the ofna ones are usually the go or you could go all out and get the tekno carrier set which comes with 17mm adaptors and a bracket to hold the pillow balls in good and proper

The Ofna and Traxxas 17mm adaptors will wear about the same rate.
If you plan to use the traxxas 17mm splined wheel at any time use the traxxas adaptor as the Ofna adaptor will not fit the traxxas 17mm splined wheels.
Other than that, there is not much difference between the 2.

Teknos for the win...

As far as the tires and wheels go heres a link to some AKA pre-monts that will work.
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product...k-1-8-Truggy-Tires-Medium-Pre-Mounted-White-2

The link is for medium tire hardness. Harder = less traction and less wear. Softer = more traction and more wear. I personally run the cityblock AKA tires but it suits the surface i run on better. They have more info on which tires suits you best on their website. amainhobbies carries all the AKA products. I prefer buying the pre mounted tires. Make sure to get truggy tires, not buggy or short course tires.

can some one send a link on the traxxas adapters ill give those a try please..if they are cheaper then the ofnas

 

[Childresshunt]

the blue adapters on ebay are the traxxas adapters

 

[ayoitsjus10]

ok ill check them out
why do they look like the same ones that i posted up is it just because its a name brand?

 

[olds97_lss]

The ones you posted up are traxxas brand.

I use hex's that I can't find anymore. They were from an e-savage that existed a few years ago that no longer is built. They were like normal hex's and you would use HPI 17mm flanged wheel nuts.

The ones they make now are for normal savage axles which have a larger center hole and would be really wobbly/off center on traxxas axles.
