Just wondering if the hpi 1:18 wheels (all of them) will fit the h8 ? or is it the rubber thats gonna matter the most ?

hpi 1/18th.....HPI does not make a micro off-road. The Micro RS4 wheels will certainly not fit either

...typically KYOSHO in its design the H8 will ONLY take KYOSHO wheels in stock form at this stage...To fit 1:18 rims, ie 18T stock, Mini-T stock, 1:18 Prolines etc you will need an adaptor of some sort...You can try BitHed ;) or a CAW adaptor if you can find them or the TRINITY Itsy Bitsy adaptor but you might need todo some grinding to get yourself some more thread to play with...Proline has mumbled they might do something but nothing yet...

yupper, 1:10th. I should have realized thats what you were looking for. Any 10th touring wheel will work as long as it uses that standard hex and is a wide offset. That and you need the trinity adapter.

...its a Catch 22...you need the wider ofset to make you dont get hung up in the fron on your knuckle but then you run the risk of running out of thread to screw on to...One of our forum guys milled some VERY sexy longer axles but no discussion of making to sell yet :( That thread is somewhere but i cant find it..its recent though...

...the pictured out-of-focus ( :o )rims are the Micro-Block rims from KYOSHO..They ARE halfeight dedicated rims...The tread is basically a SQUARE verion of the stock pins...They would go nice on hard pack...I actually dont use them...I am waiting to re-tread with some ST rims...They are avaialable from PanicToys :eek: 19 USD for the first set, 17 USD for the second set...SHIPPED...WITH gum :D
