Are there wheels for gas and wheels for electric? If so, what would happen if you use the wrong wheel?
 
For all I know the wheels are the same on all 1/10th scale touring car.

El-cars usually use 24mm rubber-tires, while nitro-cars usually use 30/36mm foam tires.
 
ya i dont really think that it matters if they are for nitro or electric just as long as they fit.

actually i think it does matter but i dont know the reason when nitro addict gets online he'll tell you
 
o, cause i figured if they fit on the car they should work, kinda like the e-maxx and t-maxx, they are electric and nitro and they work, and the nitro ruslter and the electric rustler.

Duriability Id say is the major factor. Nitro tends to go faster which means harder bumps and crashes. Basicaly you put more stress on the tires.

also Id have to say most nitro guys run offset in width from front to back while electric tends to be the same.

They make 30mm tires for electric or nitro so I dont think thats a major factor on either end as far as which runs an overall wider tire.
