No Tamiya tire will fit the Tomahawk's front wheels. Or at least they won't fit the original vintage wheel, which is what I have in here. The re-re ones can be different. The Holiday Buggy DT02 tires I have in here are much taller, and larger inner dia. Also, the way the Kyosho tires go around the wheels is not at all like anything Tamiya ever did. Different worlds indeed! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted February 20, 2019 Thanks Erich . I've put up a wanted ad for the original Sand Supers . I think there were some repro tyres put out some years back , not sure if they were these type ? . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I'm going to call a buddy here tonight to ask about the damper dia. info you needed. So I hope to get back to you in a couple of hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted February 20, 2019 I've got vintage tyres , not the re-re with the 'Goodyear' logo on them . Pretty sure the re-re tyres fit the original rims . Thanks for the damper help Erich 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted February 24, 2019 Change of tyre , these are now the ones with Goodyear on them . Does anyone have the 2014 re-re rear tyres SCT002 , and do they have Goodyear on them as I can't see it printed on the eBay pics but it is shown on the model and box art , cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 4008 Posted February 28, 2019 I have a Tomahawk NIB packed away to be built sometime, I’m pretty certain they are the exact same tyres as on the scorpion. Yes the tyres have Goodyear printed on them 2361BDE5-9F22-463B-B150-411D709CE6A2 by Kym mtbkym01, on Flickr 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KEV THE REV 2319 Posted March 7, 2019 Seems that the spares packs of rear tyres don't have the Goodyear logo on them . The front tyres do . I've ordered some lettering to add the Goodyear myself - hope it works . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KEV THE REV 2319 Posted March 7, 2019 Tyre decals arrived today , will try and get them applied tomorrow . I need to trim the radius in as the decal diameter is slightly bigger than the Kyosho tyre but it looks do-able Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted March 8, 2019 Fitted the tyre decals , with some cutting and re-shaping they worked out fine . I also fitted a front debris plate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
