CRT.5 tires/wheels?
 
My stock tires on the CRT.5 are wearing down, and the rims are kinda beat up, so it's time for new ones. But, there's no way I'm gonna pay ~$60 for those tiny wheels (Tower), even with a coupon! eBay has nothing that I've found, and I really don't want to use 2.2" wheels. Any ideas?

$25.50 shipped for a set is a pretty darn good price!!! That makes the bling bling factor practically free...

Those do have the hex drive right? I don't want 4 front wheels. :oh:

Trust uncle chris - They are 12mm hex - you do want 4 rears - front's on a jato use a bearing...

I use these...

I'm glad I checked before I clicked the BIN button; those wheels are 2.8", which is the stock Jato size. I was looking for stock CRT.5 size. I'm not in a really big hurry, but I hope some eBay chopshop sells the stock tires/wheels pretty soon.

Ah, Uncle Chris just rung the "Any ideas?" bucket...

I'm not aware of any other wheels that work...

tires any 2.2 rear buggy tire i like dirt hawgs for onroad and Bowties for offroad.

I do suggest going to a bigger wheel tire combo. The 2.8 looks amazing on the crt.5. If you want i can even send pictures.

also going to a 2.2 truck wheel makes it look more like a truggy. Traxxas 2.2 wheels old school and any tire. It opens up your tire selection also going to a 2.2 truck wheel instead of buggy.

Depends I have the ext RCM chassis - 2.8 wheels look trick and work well...

If you are old school on short chassis then 2.2 truck wheels are the normal way to go.

Still using the original chassis. I tried regular 2.2" tires once and it looks good, but didn't handle nearly as well.

Nope, I didn't need it.
