ATTN: Owners of all 1/8 scale nitro mts VERY IMPORTANT INFO!

[grandmasterofpool]

I got this tip from some people over on rcmt. Have you been looking for a way to run T-Maxx rubber on your mt, but don't want to pay $150+ for fancy custom aluminum rims? Well guess what? OFNA's Blazer SST rims will hold a Maxx tire just fine and are only about $12 a pair!!! You'll need to change to 17mm hubs if you run 19mm's.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Are you sure?

I just looked at the Blazer SST at towerhobbies site the rims look pretty narrow to me. Just like buggy rims.

[BadReligion]

I think the Blazer rims are taller but narrow like 1/8th buggy rims. I dont think they are wide enough but who knows...

[grandmasterofpool]

I'm not 100% positive, but I've heard this from very reliable sources. I plan on trying it myself so I'll post back with the results and some pics.

Apparently the rims are the same height and only 1/16" narrower than stock maxx rims. I too thought that SST rims were basically buggy rims, but I guess I was wrong.

yes i have already run them on my MP. prettty sweet. cept i had massive engine troubles- non related.

the rims are a exact match to the tmaxx wheels, cept the backspacing is adjusted to the center of the wheel, not front or back.

here are some pics of the proline maxx bowtie tiresmounted up on the blazer sst tires. big difference in weight, this should be perfect for the track!!!
