View Full Version : What Losi parts will work with the Evader?

My biggest questionis: What kind of wheels does the Losi take? The @%$&! Evader has a @%$& pin that goes into a recess in the wheel instead of the 12mm nut like everyone else. That means that I am having a very hard time trying to buy custom wheels for my Evader ST. Do the Losi trucks use the same kind of mount? If they do, *please*, what wheels are there out there for my truck besides stock? Are there any other trucks that use this kind of hub?

I though about getting some 12mm nuts and recessing them myself and using mainstream wheels. Would this work if the nut was shallow enough? Just torque it down, right? I duno.

Thanks to everyone for you input in advance, and happy almost 4th-o-July!

All losi rims fit fine. For the front, the rims may need to be grinded slightly to insure enough clearence.

Here is a link to some rims that will fit.

Thanks a lot rcguy, those are actually the whells that got me thinking about this in the first place.

Thank you for your input, t3driver; I'm glad you've had good experiences with your Losi. I'm fairly happy with my Evader and feel that it is the right truck for me.


HPI rims huh? Might have to look into those...
