superted 121 Posted January 27, 2021 Hi all I have always had Tamiya monster trucks over the years but have just bought an mf01x. which wheels will fit like ta01/ off set etc etc i dont like the wheels that are on the kit. any help would be great so i can get some different wheels 👍🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadMeat666 1675 Posted January 27, 2021 What specific mf01x kit did you buy? The Merc and the Jimny come with standard touring car wheels (52mm?) with rally block tires on them, while the Beetle and the Escort Mk2 come with M chassis wheels, which are smaller.

superted 121 Posted January 27, 2021 Hello I have bought the Escort mk 2 can i run any m chassis wheels on the mf01x? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Jon 684 Posted January 27, 2021 Any M-chassis or touring wheel will physically fit. I've run my MF01X on everything from 55D M-chassis tires to very small 1.9 crawler tires. It usually wears 26mm touring wheels with Super Grip tires. Mine seems to be the most fun on pavement due to the short suspension travel, although it's fine off-road at lower speeds. What is it you don't like about the stock wheels? Size or style? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superted 121 Posted January 27, 2021 No its on order hopefully on the way soon I like the kit wheels but i want to put my own spin on the Escort no decals and no blue wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6209 Posted January 27, 2021 I know what you mean. With the white shell I like the Rothmans livery with gold minilites ( a set of which I have lurking ready!!!) when the clear shell comes out later in the year I may get a couple to play around with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJoe76 571 Posted January 27, 2021 From what I can tell, the M-Chassis will fit fine, as should any Sedan wheel, I ran RC4wd Landy 1.55 beadlocks without a problem on mine until last week when I put gear reduction units from a GF-01Tr on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superted 121 Posted January 27, 2021 I have ordered a clear shell also. was thinking down the gold mini lite route. should sit nice next to the new escort custom thats also on order 👍🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Jon 684 Posted January 27, 2021 I don't have the Escort, but I have the Jimmy. Don't think that Escorts have hit the States yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
