rulux fit on maxx size tires like mt tires. The halfups are meant for lpr size tires

You might wanna those LPR wheels and tires, as those are low profile, so it has better handling.
If i remember right LPR stands for Low Profile Race.
Here is quick shot of "standard" truggy wheel vs LPR wheel, both have Bowtie tires on them.
