wheels and tires/madforce

[kyosho44]

Hi: I am new to r/c & new to this forum ,I have kyosho mad force kruiser ready set with ke25 engine.. I need help with wheels I want different wheels but don't know what wheels will fit the offset .. The truck has 19mm hexes and 14mm hexes I would like to go to 17mm hexes but don't know how the adapter kits go on,will any monster truck tire work or do I need to have a specific tire? If anyone would be willing to help me It would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks..

Check out the Ofna Hyper 7 17mm adapters. 8 bucks on ebay.

hey man, there are lots of options with the stock mad force setup.

the easiest thing to do is to get a 17mm hex for a kyosho buggy and replace the hex that comes with the mad force. that way you can run and 3.3 or 40 series wheels you want.

have you looked around to see what kind of tires and wheels you want yet? if you show us what you want, then we can help you out more letting you know what will work.

Do you know if this will work on the mad force kruiser to convert it to use 17mm wheels, its from HPI Racing part # 87229 my only concern is, is it long enough to fit.. I would like to run a bead lock wheel,I really like the axial wheel part # ax8046 bead lock wheels and some tires from pro line or hpi.. Thanks again for the help..

you can check out SuperShafty.com on the products page. Twin Force Axle Parts, but he might be outta stock on the axle stubs you are looking for.

this will work. you won't absolutely need the stub shafts, but they will help keep it all more sturdy. OFNA Ultra LX2 Buggy 17mm Wheel Hex Hub 30656 40550 Hexes LX One LX-2e GTP-2 | eBay

and this will work, will also get some extra dog bones, all for about half the price. i buy small parts from this guy all the time on ebay. awesome guy to deal with.

Savage outers will work so the HPI 82779 kit should work.

To use HPI hex's you have to run the Savage stubs. The savage stubs are stronger than the stock ones also. The best bet is to run CV shafts. A little more money, but worth the investment.

Man I really appreciate the help both you guys are giving me some great advice ... I feel dumb asking this question, will all monster truck tires fit on the stock mad force wheels,the guy at kyosho said as long as they are monster truck tires the will fit idk..I am looking at pro lines big joe tires # 1103-00 and hpi super mudders # 4878 and hpi gt2 tires #4462.. Thanks again for the help...

here you go bro.

I have a Mad Force not a Twin Force. Will these work on a Mad Force, because I thought the Trac Width's were wider on the Mad Force than the Twin Force? Thank You!

 

[Bart bender]

They are the same. Unless you have an old MF. The only difference is the TF has alum R&P front and rear and the MF has steel R&P in the rear. Unless the next gens are upgraded. Axles are the same other than that.

As long as they are a 14mm hex. I would strongly suggest going to 17mm though.

thank you guys provide nice information~i already got kyosho buggy 17mm hex hub to fit my MF.
and i will select the pro-line wheel #2733-03 for this mod.But my concern was the 17mm hex direct fit this wheel.
That's means the wheel center hole big enough to put this hex hub in and with nut tight work?
did anybody had this experience?

 

[Bart bender]

I would sure hope so. I've never seen a 17mm hex with a smaller center hole.

 

[allenscania10]

I already got this wheel and install on my mad force.It's perfect~
But I found a little rub between tire and shock spring.had to do something with this problem.
