|  Sand dragster
I am in the process of building a drag car. I have a GMS drag spec pro mod kit. I am running a mm with a 9000 kv motor on a 2650 50c 3s lipo. I would like to turn it into a sand drag car but I can't find wheels that have the 4 bolt pattern . If anyone can help me to find where I can get wheels & sand paddle tires I would really appriciate it .This is how it sits so far.    These are the wheels I'm talking about . I need a set of lightweight beadlocks that have the 4 bolt pattern.  Last edited by dshelowjr; 08-17-2010 at 03:26 PM. Reason: Adding pictures |

Unfortunately,I think they will have to be custom made.I don't recall seeing any when I had my drag project.  |

For tires you can gat a set of paddles from RC4WD that would be perfect for a sand drag car and like the others have said you'll have to make you're own or maybe mod a set of Eritex delrin 2.2 beadlocks like these.   |

and shave off the hex.Quote:

It would probably be cheaper to just shave the hex off and pretty easy to. You'll need to do away with those O-ring front tires and use some buggy fronts like the smooth Tamiya's that are on the Sand Scorcher So in other words just shave the hex off! ...

Do yourself a favor and get the paddle tires from rc4wd instead of the proline paddles the will get plenty of traction without putting to much strain on the driveline as opposed to the big paddles on the proline's plus they mantain more wheel speed and might help keep the front end down
