Using Grasshopper/Sand Scorcher wheels & tyres on DT02

[wintersdawn]

Anyone know if I get Grasshopper/Sand Scorcher front wheels and tyres (including adapters for the rear wheels) they will fit the DT02 front/rear wheel axles?

I'm doing a Sand Scorcher bodyshell to fit to my DT02 chassis (bodyshell fitment including body posts already sorted) and want to fit Sand Scorcher wheels and tyres.

 

Thanks.

Yes to the front. Same axles as a Grasshopper/Hornet with different steering arms, so the front wheels swap right over.

Rears are a different story. The DT02 axles are much shorter, and the SS rear wheels and adapters are much thicker, so you'll need to use axle extensions instead of normal axle nuts.

Thank you for your help 🙂

The wheels and tyres fitted at the moment are Carson all terrain so will see what it looks like with them first, when the bodyshell is finished.

Going for this kind of look and colour (using ps-22 on a kamtec lexan repro sand scorcher body).
