Default New Tamiya Brat Wheel Size?

Just looking around online, I can't find an answer.

Are the wheels on the new Sub Brat 1.9"? Or another size?




please say smaller please say smaller please say smaller

They are smaller.... Do I get a prize for saying that?

Really, they are smaller.... I got one recently, give me a minute or two to measure them and i post up the diameter.

They are about 1.75" at the out most edge. I'd say the bead sits on about 1.55"-1.6" (best guess without takeing the wheels apart to find out).

Thanks a ton Adogg!!!

At 1.75" outer bead, that puts them at just about the size of TLT wheels at the outer bead. That was exactly what I was looking for!

To be accurate to scale, I was hoping for them to be a little smaller, but that size should work well, and much better than a 1.9 alternative. And they eliminate the BS associated with dealing with TLT wheels/tires.

Thanks again!!!!!

ever think about trying 1:18 nylint tires, or flywheels? the flywheel boggers are just a hair smaller than the nylint's, but they would look a lot better IMO!
