I'm still confused. With the gearhead wheels, were you able to use the stock Bruiser wheel hubs or did you require an adapter?

Also, I had ordered Proline Flat Iron XLs which fit the RC4WD bruiser wheels I have now, but the tires were too tall to fit without raising the body.

Would The regular Flat Irons still fit my wheels, because they are pretty wide. I'm just looking for something with a better and more scale tread pattern than the monster truck tires that came with the bruiser.

In the photo, you can see how much taller the XLs are which would require a body lift to work.

I used RC4WD hex conversion with rear axles, front stub axles, and 12mm hexes. Not sure of those would fit the stock wheels or not.

Got some new Prolines for the Bruiser and the RC4WD beadlocks. They're a tad shorter than the stock tires but are much grippier even with the foam inserts. The old stock tires I had to remove the foams but the rubber was still too hard to provide any decent grip.
