theRuggedMan 19 Posted January 11, 2010 desert gator front wheels should fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taliesin 260 Posted January 12, 2010 Same DT-01 chassis but with the Mad Fighter body shell: The wheels are DT-02 speed discs [for the Sand Viper] and the tires are Pro-line Dirt Hawgs. They are great for tarmac and wear like iron. Decent grip as an all-round choice. Wouldn't race with them, but still.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Yup, those are the same Tamiya speed discs for the front and these tires will fit straight on: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...=LXDU14&P=7 The stock buggy front tires from Tamiya will work too: http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=51207 Rear wheels: http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=51262 Rear tires: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...LXDU13&P=ML Sorry, I know its not the same website, but you can cross reference the manufacturer numbers. Personally, I would absolutely love to buy a set or two of the Carson wheels/tires, but I cringe at the shipping cost and duty, not to mention the exchange rate of the dollar to the pound at the moment.
