anybody know where i can get some 1/8 paddle buggy tires?

i know pro-line made some a few years ago that are now discontinued. anybody else have any thoughts?

Your SOL
Keep an eye on Fleabay, RCU and other forums. Somthing will pop up soon enough.

A week or so ago think it was here on RCM, someone has new paddles still NIP, I'll bet there gone tho.

Good luck on your quest !

That was me that sold them. They sold within 48 hours of being posted FS on several forums.

Yep, paddles are pretty non-existent for 1/8's. I would look to Badland's possible.

there are paddles made for the HPI baja

Would these work?

I'll sell you mine.

For 1000 bucks, or whatever the price of a 5b is!

J/k but really send an e-mail to Proline, the more we 1/8th scale buggy guys bug them to bring them back the more of a chance we have to get them back.

They brought back the knuckles... So there is hope.

Or SC8 wheels with the new short coarse truck slingshots...

wow...that's exactly what i'm looking for. i tried to translate the page, but it didn't translate too well, and i didn't see that i could use paypal. i even looked on ebay to see if they sold there. those are awsome.

are those 17mm wheels?

Yep

10caracter

they are, but those tires won't fit on those wheels. The slingshot tires linked require a 2.2" outer bead and a 3" inner bead, and are too wide for the rim linked. The wheel linked is 3" on both sides, and too narrow for the tire.

Those german/austrian paddles look to be the sh!t. Extra rubber supports that will help them last. The proline buggy paddles were very weak and the paddles ripped very easily in anything but sand.

IMO I'd figure out a way to get the german stuff.

Bad reno. Bad! Go lay down!!! Those are sc8 wheels. The tires are made for sc10 wheels. Bad advice!!:whistle:

Sorry I saw a guy with Switch tires on sc8 wheels on his buggy at our indoor track so I figured they fit.

Nah I rather not lie down.... More fuel to the fire.

just messin' with ya. no need to be sorry. I'm a messer arounder:lol:

Oh and Carson RC, the one who brought us the gokart, makes them as well just eBay search them on the German eBay and you can usually find some. If they are willing to ship to America is another thing...

my bad, I was going by the "tech notes" at the tower site. It doesn't specify that it is a 3/2.2 wheel but you are absolutely correct.

RENO IS THE MAN!!! _paralyzed_ was wrong.:whistle:

I'm going to my corner to punish myself:whip:

man, europe has all the good paddles. AGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no paypal, no ebay sets...man...this sucks.

My Pro-Line 1/8 Buggy Slingshots are awesome, and I wouldn't sell them for anything! I run them whenever we go to the beach on vacation (they still look brand-new)! I was running them on an MMM/2200 powered Kyosho MP777, but I recently sold it, now they will be run on an XRAY XB8 2010 Spec as soon as I get it...powered by the same MMM/2200 CC/Neu setup!

this should solve your problems guys second from the bottom second in http://www.heathsrcmodels.co.uk/OffRoadTyres.html

thanks for the link! :yes:
