| Spare tires ?
I have a Axial Scorp with a Pro-Line tube body.... it sits on 2.2 Mud Slingers. I bought a single 1.9 tire to use as a spare but it just looked to small. Who uses the same tire as whats on your rig ? Or do you use a smaller tire ? Anybody got a single 2.2 Mud Slinger ? A single Axial wheel ? |

I always get my spares from RPP hobby. They split up sets sometimes and have spares availble. Just keep checking to see. http://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/rc...ger22spare.htm |

I use a fullsize spare and I am pretty sure I have a few extra wheels laying around but they are black if that is ok. |

I usually run a spare that's slightly shorter, and quite a bit narrower. Here is the spare on my 1.9 rig....a spare the same size as the tires on the truck looks ridiculously huge. |

I can't say running a spare on a 2.2 makes much sense to me. How many 1:1 rigs carry a 500lb (+or-) tire that is 40 to 55" tall on the back of their rig? (besides the military and I guess distance racers) Just my 2 cents. I am all for spares on 1.9's though. |
