Blitzer beetle wheels and tyres.... Any alternatives?

Recommended Posts

I'm after some rear wheels and tyres for my BB, but I can only find them outside the UK, on ebay at least. I'm a bit of a newbie with the BB so are there any alternative wheels and/or tyres that are more easily available? I know the front wheel width is a slightly different to the rears but a have front wheels with tyres. Plus I was considering a different look to the standard orange wheels

Any suggestions and advice is much appreciated

Most hex-drive 2.2 monster wheels will fit on the rear.  IIRC the rear wheel width and offset is common among 2.2 monster truck wheels.  I have a set of King Blackfoot rears mounted with sticky road tread for driving my Blitzer on tarmac.

As for tyres, Schumacher Vee 4 yellows are a popular option, although I'm still using standard Tamiya tyres on mine.  You can fit regular 2.2 monster rubber but it will increase your gearing and add more unsprung weight to an already lively back end.

Proline 2.2 Trenchers or dirt hawg I work nice on the rear rims.
