Looking for the ultimate in an oversized/low profile look? Check out Pro-Line’s new 30 Series line-up of components for today’s popular 1:10 stadium truck.

30 Series proportions are similar to that of Pro-Line’s exclusive 40 Series wheels and tires typically seen on Monster Trucks today. With that same concept in mind, Pro-Line wanted to give your 1:10 stadium truck the look of today-an oversized wheel measuring 2.8” in diameter, versus the standard 2.2” in diameter, and a low profile tire design.

In addition, Pro-Line utilized their exclusive All-Purpose wheel design for complete versatility. Switch tires front to back, side to side, or, if you have multiple types of vehicles, you can switch tires and wheels from one vehicle by simply changing the adaptors. What’s more, if you already have the 2.2” adaptors, they will work with the new 30 Series wheels.

The 30 Series Wabash wheels are made of durable nylon and chromed for a sparkling finish. They come in a four pack of wheels and front and rear adaptors for your specific vehicle (see specific part numbers and fitment below)

FEATURES

· Pro-Line exclusive All-Purpose design
· Brilliant chrome finish
· Adaptors and wheels included in one complete package
· Direct replacement for JATO™ owners
· Set includes: 2 pair of wheels, 1 pair each of front and rear adaptors

#2693-12 Associated RC10GT, T3, T4 $22.00

#2693-32 Traxxas® JATO™, Nitro Rustler®/Stampede® $22.00

The newer Jato/Pede/Rusty rims are 2.8 as well.

[T-Maxxahol]

wish they made these in white.. they would compliment my Dark impact Truggy project really well.. any ideas on how to strip the chrome and get a good finish?

I saw the dirt hawg's at RCX. They looked pretty cool. Might have to pick some up :D

[reptile]

They look good and all but how would one use them on a electric rustler or stampede?

[evst 360]

Use the correct adapter with the wabash wheels.

[MikeBusch2]

I might look into these, especially if the traxxas anaconda tires fit them.

As far as stripping the chrome, I've found (accidentally) that boiling works. Sometimes bleach will take off the chrome too. I do that with chrome model parts often. Under the chrome, however, is usually some nicotine-stained white color. It's not a true white.

[Duster_360]

Straight Simple Green removes chrome too (needs to soak a few hours or overnite). I've stripped several sets of their chrome finish and also get an off white, almost ivory, wheel as a result.

A note on tire sizes: although Pro-Lione's "30 Series" tires are the same size as Traxxas Jato tires, the PL tires use a standard mounting bead--they won't fit Traxxas rims, which use an 1/8-scale style slotted rim. Likewise, Traxxas 2.8 tires won't fit PL 30 Series wheels because of the different rim interface.

So much for "universal"...

[Nitro 4 me]

Anybody have these yet? I do and I'm disappointed. Yet another set of "universal" wheels that fit like crap. The fronts don't even hold the bearings in place. The bearing spacing is also narrower than the stock Jato wheels so even with the nut tight the wheels are still loose. Which dosen't matter much since the wheels are loose on the bearings anyway. The screws that the wheels come with to hold the adapters in place are TO SMALL in diameter. I had to use larger screws. Anyone else have the same problem? How did you get a better fit on the bearings? The stock traxxas bearings measure 10.97mm and the hole in the adapters is 11.27mm.

I'm I the only one with this problem?:confused:

i haven't installed the wabash adapters... but i have them. no instructions in the packet or online. its real sad.... plus, the wheels don't come in light dish form? i HAVE TO get the chrome joints?? booooooo

[Nitro 4 me]

So I email pro line about there poorly fitting hubs. It was over 2 weeks before they replied. Here's their answer. "If you wish to send the product in you will need to contact me directly to review the returns procedure and receive an RMA# (Return Merchandise Authorization)."

Then when I replied to the email I got

[Nitro 4 me]

how's the fit on your front wheel bearings?

[JatoThai]

not good as reported by many who are using them... i haven't actually run them but its a bit loose making the wheels "wabbly" :(

[isawred]

does anyone know if they will come out with a velocity verison of these wheels??
