There isn't much that fits the original rims. You'll probably have to surf ebay. Some people have been able to retrofit the newer 2.2 rims by using different axles and CVD sets. I used HPI super star wheels and found front tires on ebay and the rears from Duratrax @ Towerhobbies. Good luck. If you want to see what my RC10 looks like, check my weblink in my profile.

ur buggy looks hot.....mines a beater. I just made it work for snow. Its really fast though..with only a tamiya stock motor.

I need both rims and tires....so will the newest buggy tires and rims fit?

I recently rebuilt my RC10. I was able to use rims for a B3 by switching to 3/16" axles in the rear, this required new hub carriers, bearings and axles (I used B3 CVDs). The front end doesn't require any modifications to use new rims.

Check those. there's some fronts listed in the " people that bought these also bought these" section. It doesn't say if they're for a 3/16 or 1/4 axel. If you need 1/4 they still have them listed for the truck. might be a little wider but they should fit.

I know for sure, that the HPI SS Truck wheels come with adaptors that fit the original RC10 / T axles. The adaptor is a standard hex on the wheel side. I even think HPI sells the adapters alone. All U have to do is sand down the "excess" ring on the wheel side. You'll know what I meen when u see it.

alright.......i found the original wheels/tires for the front and the rear wheels.(my uncle gave me three old buggies and a lot of parts.) What rear tires will fit the original rims. These need to be for snow....so it needs some treads. Thanks.
