Smaller tires

[bigdodge88]

Hello everyone,

I have been looking at 1.9 tires and have a question. What are the smallest 1.9 tires available and what are the dimensions? I really wanted to use the RC4WD Rock Creepers on my build but they are still too big. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

F.Y.I. I will be using a Jeep Grand Cherokee body that has a wheelbase of 7 1/2"

Thanks,
Justin

tamiya bfgs, and hummer tires are the smallest 3.5" tall.

no not that i know off. youll have to google/ebay them. or put up a wanted ad. i think i sold my hummer tires (you dont want those) but i think i still have a set of BFGs

Would you be willing to part with them? If so how much.

Would anyone be able to post some pics comparing the BFGs to the S.D.I. Trail Doctors and High-Lift tires?(not XLs)

Thanks,
Justin

Or you could make these, 3" tall, 1.9 Losi Bashers cut down onto Tamiya Mini wheels.

Thanks Zach. I have been thinking about reducing some Rock Creepers or prowlers and making some smaller wheels out of aluminum. If any one can give some more pics it would be greatly appreciated.

The bfg's are very hard and dont perform well. The standard height trail docs are the same size as a hilift tire, 3.7". if you take a standard trail doc and reduce them to the mini wheels (1.5) like the ones in the van pic below they end up just a hair over 3"

here are mine reduced on newer spec mini wheels.
hilift 1.9 tire on left (same as trail doc), reduced trail doc on right.

I've been looking for those rims for AGES. I saw MicroGoat post about them once and never found it again. Can you tell me where you got them or who makes them?

BTW great job so far on the charity build.
