You'll want the HPI #2105 and HPI #2140.  Those are matching front and rear 2.2 wheels.  They should come with the adapters you need to fit onto your MB.  I have a set for my Bushy D (Super Blackfoot)...

ETA - if you get the white wheels (#2100 and #2135), you can dye them whatever color you want.  You can find advise on dying HPI wheels if you search around here...


ETA - if those HPI wheels don't come with adapters, they sell them:  HPI #6115 is the front, and HPI #6120 is the rear.

traxxas make's a hex u can use for 12mm wheels for the rear

I had totally forgotten about the Traxxas wheels.  Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah, the Traxxas #1972 and #1974 wheels will work with the BF/MB but they don't fit very well...  I have a set that I dyed red...

There are some vintage Upgrades for the ORV tranny.  Thorp makes the most common, and Robinson makes one.  There are a few others...

MIP makes a modern upgrade.

All of these are quite expensive, but might be worth it to you if you plan on running your MB a lot...

I upgraded my Frog's tranny with a Thorp system and it works fanstastic.
