Half 8 Wheels on an 18T?
 

Do they fit?

Dont they use the same pin-style "hub"?

nope, the half 8 use a hex and the 18 series just use a pin that seats in the rim

Half 8 tires are the same as touring car tires (O.D. and width anyway) and you can get adapters for the 18 to use tc wheels. For offroad use rally tires. The hex on the half 8 is an odd size, I thinks its 8.3mm.

Normal touring wheels use 12mm hexes, i use the convertors on my rc18 too.

i have seen them on an 18t and it looked alright, actually it looked good

let me find it....here

I guess I'll just stick with the standard 1/18 bow ties and wabash's...

Thanks for the replies

(P.S) I just got my FT 18T kit w/ my Mamba Competition 6800 today...I'm stoked. Maxamps 1500mah 3S lipo's are on the way...Castle's chart said that yeilds me 50mph with stock gearing... :D

Time to drag race my dad hehe... (the Jato in my sig is his).

...as owner and operator of halfeight.com i can HONESTLY recommend you stay away from stock H8 rims..They SUPER suck!! If you REALLY want to use them run a load of shoe goo around the inner side of the rim, (tire ON; the NON tire side, sorry, thats a bit friggin' cryptic) and that will help keep them in better shape...Or go with the Proline units...Much better...

..BTW I have a set of black RPM Revolver near-new rims with near-new Dirt Hawgs on...30 USD shipped if you want 'em :D I had them on my 18t until the H8 arrived...long story..
