Big wheels on a Grasshopper

Recommended Posts

Dear RC Nuts,

My nephew wants to have larger wheels on at the front of his car. I was going to install some larger wheels similar to the Subaru Brat, however the axel is too short. Would there be a model that I could steel longer axels from?

Thanks in advance for any guidance. 
I wish you all good health.

CW01 steering pins from a LunchBox or Midnight Pumpkin fit on the front of the Grasshopper if I'm not mistaken.

You're brilliant. I was thinking the same but wasn't sure. 

I think I may have these somewhere..

Thanks again. Much appreciated.

The Brat wheels and tires will fit w/o any work. I have some on my GH now. 

If you replace the front axles with those from the Blackfoot, you’ll be able to use those wheels on the front.  The rears should fit just fine.

Someone else can validate, but I think the Lunchbox front knuckles can be used as a direct fit replacement and do the same thing as above. 

Either way, it will give you access to the larger Tamiya wheels. 

Hope that helps. 

Terry

I’ll add that if your wheel/tire combo is too big, you may rub the front bumper.
