Fighter Buggy RX rear end advice

[Baddon]

I have picked up an RX with something else I wanted. I was planning on selling on BUT one of the rear wheels is VERY badly buckled. I had though it the shaft (opposite side to motor) but after putting on a different wheel the most of the buckle is in the wheel) Rear tires are bald as well.

Am I right this is basically a MadBull with smaller wheels? (I have 4 MadBulls) and apart from tires and front bumper looks very similar to me?

Anyone recommend a set of rear wheels that will fit (or even better have a set at humble money)

OR anyone interested in a RX at low money?

It is the same chassis as the mad bull yes. It's a DT01. Any 12mm hex wheels will fit. I don't have any spare but loads of people will. Or look on ebay. You'll probably pick up a set super cheap.

Is the wheel damaged?, it maybe the wheel hex itself?, they have splines in the centre which do wear out.

The rears would fit, but the Fighter Buggy RX uses a bearing-in-wheel fitment at the front.

You are correct. Sorry looked at one lot and then linked to the wrong ones.

They are the ones I was looking for. Just had to check to see if I still had a set laying around but think I left them on the cars when they went to new homes

dont know why I did not think to simply swap the rears round, this moves the problem from one side to the other, so at least I know its not a buckle in drive shaft adding to it.

 

I have a few on watch for rims on eBay. Not in any hurry but I know a good time to move the buggy on is before Christmas.
