Wheels for Jumbo kong tiers??

[STONER RC]

So got a old set of Jumbo kongs. That I would love to fit to the Xmaxx. Anyone know of wheels that will fit it whit 17mm hex. They have wheels now with 14mm that fit the Tmaxx 3.3. Anyone with suggestions

 

[tntpoof]

isn't the rim size most important.. 3.1" or 80mm

 

[STONER RC]

Yes sir you are correct. My bad that I didn't add that part of the equation. That would be very important. Didn't even think of that measuring that rite now.

I had bought some of those years ago used on E-bay ,thought they were cool ,but
when I put them on my truck ,they were suddenly not cool ,they killed the performance
of the truck ,now I know why the person before me was selling them!..

They are 3.6⁶⁸⁰ in length x 3.1⁹¹⁵ in with

The tier it self beed to beed is 3.7¹³⁰" w x 3.0⁸⁹⁵ so guess 3.1". I think that the with of the tier is going to be the problem? I think I could be wrong. That's why I'm asking

Lol I agree they definitely are to big for the little Tmaxx. Wobbled like hell at high speed.. even if I tighting up the knuckles. But they worked good at slow speed and they definitely made the truck float in water that was pretty cool. But I think they would work well on the Xmaxx. They have been sitting around for yrs just waiting for there chance.

Those tires have a lot of side wall stretch ,you might can stretch them over some other rims
with the size hex you need!

I think the problem is going to be the with of the tier from beed to beed 3.7". And the beed is huge compared to the a 3" wheel

Jumbo dawgs?

Theyre really rare. They look a lot like the kongs but they say Jumbo Dawgs on the sides.

Oh yeah. I wanted those when I was a kid for my blackfoot. But my dad wouldn't get them. Always said I didn't need them. LOL They definitely look just like the kongs.

Thats what i thought but then I was like, well if theyre just like the Kongs then why make them? lol

I'm guessing because the old tamiya truck had the wheels with that 5 prung or tits that went into the hubs on the axles. And the kongs have the hex mounting wheels? Maybe? I don't know good ?
