Novafox, Wild One front tires

[Saito2]

Does anybody know of any better front tires that fit the stock Novafox/Wild One front wheel? The stock ribbed tires don't afford me much grip but I want to keep the stock wheels for appearance purposes. I miss the old Tamiya optional rib/spike combo tire that came on the Super G. Thanks.

The wheels are about 2.1 inch so modern 2.2 buggy fronts will fit ok with a dab of glue. 2 inch tyres will also fit with a little stretch, so no need for glue. Schumacher has a few 2 inch tyres available.

These look nice on a Fox or Novafox:

does anyone know if the fox wheels will fit on the falcon?

As they share the same wheeladaptor at the rear, I think they do. Don't know weather the FOX front wheels are the same size as the Falcons and what that means for the space between wheel and bumper.

(Nova) Foxwheels do fit a Grasshopper II though.

This looks (link) like a Falcon with Fox or Super Hornet Wheels, so I might give it a try:

Fox (really they're "WildOne" wheels per their lettering) are bigger than Falcon, but fits on the axle just fine.

Nose will sit a bit higher but I doubt it'll hurt handling.

i kinda like The Frog on WildOne wheels, gives it a nicer stance IMHO
