TA-Mark 195 Posted June 23, 2013 Part number is #53048 for the spike 2WD front tyres. Pretty hard to find on a good day. There are other non-tamiya options like Shumacher, or Ballistic (Check the products page for Ballistic Tyres). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TA-Mark 195 Posted June 24, 2013 Can't say I've seen a 1.9" 2WD front wheel on a buggy before. 1.55" and 1.75" (SRBs and vintage Tamiya), 2.0", 2.16" (Tamiya) or 2.2". I read on other forums guys are using these for racing on the Associated buggys, but I can't find anywhere that gives a dimension. My guess would be 2.2".

biggamehunter 127 Posted June 24, 2013 its definately smaller than 2.2" mark , im sure they are 1.9" inside and 2.9" outside , hence the dificulty in sourcing/finding them . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TA-Mark 195 Posted June 24, 2013 I was saying the Ballistic tyres are 2.2", not the Astute wheels. Given that the Astute front tyres are the same part number as the Bear Hawk's fronts, the Bear Hawk's front wheels are 2.0". Try these Shumacher's or these for a fit. These from CRP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
