On the older style blackfoots, how do the rear wheels bolt up? 12mm hex? Pin mount? Or some oddball design? I know the fronts use bearings. I'm looking to bolt these rims to TLT axles, so hex or pin mount will work. Or if anyone knows where to find another wheel similar in design that will bolt up to a TLT, that would work also. This is the look of rim I'm looking for.

See the backside of the rim there then the other piece that mates to it has a pin it slides over on the axle.

No I saw that truck on RCMT and really liked the rims. I'm working on a somewhat scale 2.2 rimmed monster truck with TLT axles. Looking for a solid and realistic rim to run. Most 2.2 rims have holes in them. I need a rim that looks like a clodbuster rim, only in 2.2.

One thing those arent tamiya rims they are from the old traxxas hawk/sledgehammer I have a set on the beetle and really hard to find. Nicer I think cause they have some offset to.

Guy there selling a sweet rs4 that has my name all over it, monster conversion! Has tlt tires on it and only wants $100 but im so far in the poor house I will never see daylight.

Oh, thought they looked familiar. I searched for sledgehammer rims and found nothing. They mount the same way though, with the bracket.

Back in the day alot of rigs shared the same style parts so interchangeable unlike today. Highly doubt you find any but luck could be on your side :rof
