Has anyone tried Fly wheels on thier truck?
I Think the Off-road flywheels are a little bit bigger than nylint tires, and they're stickier, because i have a Racing fly wheel i got, and it's the exact same size as the nylint tires. another plus of having Fly wheels is that they're scale, so they aren't ungodly wide.

So if you've mounted some POST UP!!:lol:
 
Yeah the swampers or boggers would look sweet on the nylints. I saw an off-road pack and decided that I would get them when I knew how to mount em up
 
I thought Fly Wheels were those individual wheels that you jumped ramps with and stuff. How would you get 4 of the same wheel without buying 4 things? Or do they make new Fly Wheels things that I haven't seen.

They are those individual wheels that you jump ramps with;-)
You can buy the wheels individually without buying another launcher."thumbsup"
 
Ah, cool, I didn't know that. I'll have to look in the store and see what the attachment on the other side looks like. I'm sure it's positive to use them, you might have to heat a hex shaped thing and press it in to make the right shape, but it's probably possible. Have a link to the off road ones? All I see is the street ones.
 
These are some of the off road flywheels. And the stock nylint are a hair taller and alot softer

No nylints here, just 1.9 scale rigs.

I'm just helping the nylint boys out

Are they too hard to be used on a crawler?

Are those your pictures? Why do you have so many Fly Wheels, lol?
 
If you plan on using the flywheels wheel you have to jb weld a hex on the back. But, the tires will fit over a 1.9" wheel. Alot less work since they are already for a hex. I have several 1.9" projects going on
 
Yeah, I'm bringing sexy back

Waiting for some of Moggers 1.9 rings for those

What about putting 1.9 wheels on a Nylint? Isn't the Nylint hex like 1/2", that's around what a 1.9 is right (12mm)?

I'm thinking some highlift tires/wheels would look pretty cool 8)
 
well they look pretty cool.. but i think they'd be too hard to perform well, and if there already smaller than a nylint tire i dont see much gain from them, other than looks, its a good idea though
