I have not seen any around. I am sure someone makes something. Maybe a clod to Maxx adaptor would work. My question is why would you want to? Seems like big tires on a small axle is looking for parts breakage.

your better off to spend your money on stronger axles rather break them every 5 mins and spend your money on 5 axles a run. Maxx axles are very cheap if you shop around.

A txt to maxx adapter would work but you would be better off just buying new axels cuz you would be breaking everything but thats just my 2 cents

The kid isn't going to listen to us. Let him put those big *ss tires on TLT axles. When he comes back crying that he snapped something or desroyed a set of gears, laugh at him. People are trying to help you out but you are 15, you know everything.

Good luck.

actually putting maxx tires on tlt axles dont break them. ive had the tires on my axles for the past few months and ran it everyday till it got to cold to go outside and nows theres snow. ive never had a problem except for a diff. unlocking itsleff. even then there was no damage and all i had to do is lock the axle again.

How would a clod/txt to maxx adapter work? A clod/txt axle shaft is splined. A tlt shaft is not!!

RCC has this thing called a SEARCH button but perhaps it was out of service the day you posted this redundent question.....



From way back in '04..... Maxx sized wheels with Imex tires narrowed to fit. If I remember right the overall width was a huge 2"!! It worked pretty well back then.

If you look at full size trucks you notice that the current trend is to run smaller axles but lighten the hell outta the vehicle, the same i think could hold true for tlt axles. Make a 3 lb truck with 2 lbs of tires and it could work IF you narrow them extremely and use tires with a less then sticky compound.
