brat/fav rear tyres, are they any difference

[tamiya monkey]

im looking at getting to tyres for my scorcher, ive got a new set of re-re fav wheels, just need the tyres, front ones are straight forward, although not that cheap, but its the rear ones im not sure about.

brat tyres set of 4 £14.99

buggy champ/rough rider 2 for £18.99

so what is the difference between them.

No, if memory serves the FAV/Buggy Champ rear tires are slightly different from the Brat tires.

I think the Grasshopper/Hornet/Brat all work on the same rear wheels, but the FAV/Buggy Champ and I believe (?) the Scorcher are different diameter wheels & tires.

Perhaps someone can confirm and give you the correct diameters for each?

I tried to fit my brat wheels on my scorcher but wouldn't allow me to get the wheel nut on enough, but the fav wheels fit great, so will brat tyres fit on the fav/rough rider wheels.

I have Brat rear tyres on Buggy Champ wheels mounted on my re-re Grasshopper, my re-re FAV, and my vintage Super Champ, with Buggy Champ wheels and tyres on the front. Grasshopper had vintage Rough Rider wheels to start with (Buggy Champ wasn't released yet). When the BC was released I bought a heap of wheel sets and put the bundles of Brat rear tyres I had on them. Instead of painting aluminium and mounting up the FAV wheels, I used the sets I'd already sprayed and fitted the tyres I already had, so my FAV tyres and wheels are still NIP in the FAV box as spares.

I have the combination of Buggy Champ wheels, Brat rear tyres and Buggy Champ front tyres on my Super Champ, Bear Hawk (modified wheel), Grasshopper and FAV as these are the tyres I use most with the terrain I have. I do have re-re Grasshopper wheels with re-re Grashopper tyres, and re-re Grasshopper wheels and re-re Hornet tyres sprayed aluminium and mounted up for when I'm running one of these models in the right conditions for the tyre.

I have a set of RC Boys wheels and tyres here, and they're the same tyre as the Brat/FAV too. The wheels in this set has a 12mm hex with a crazy offset that I've not found a use for yet.

The BC/FAV/RR wheels are 1.75". The Hornet/GH/SC/SS wheels are 1.5".

All the block-tread ones that say "Sand Blaster 915" on the sidewall should be the same. Standard equipment on both ends of Brat, SRB F-150 Ranger, original Pajero, RC Boy's Wild Ceptor, and rear of Buggy Champ/Rough Rider and FAV. Wheel styles and offsets differ, but the tires are the same as far as I've ever been able to tell. I sure can't explain the price difference between those two links.
