Third Party Tires for Lego Technic Rims

[Tamas Juhasz]

What do you think, which is the softest 1.9 inch tyre for 8297 rims? I need hard terrain crawler tyres, but as soft, as possible.

[Tamas Juhasz]

Nobody knows?

I think about softer 1.9" tires than RC4WD 1.9" rock crusher XT.

the rc4wd roklox should have the most soft compound

[Ralf]

Sorry, i have no experience with the crowler tires, i want to test the first set now!

[Tamas Juhasz]

Efferman:

Thanks for the answer. But I think "RC4WD roklox" and "RC4WD 1.9" rock crusher XT" has the same material. Maybe there is no softer 1.9 tire than these (X3 soft & sticky compound)?

[efferman]

i think the rok lox are softer because the tread pattern is not so massive

[That_LEGO_Guy]

Has anyone come across any tyres the same if not taller than power puller tyres that have any grip? I've been searching but to no success.

[z3_2drive]

Rok Lox 1.9 are taller but I think there are ones with better grip out there.

[Ralf]

I use the GMADE MT-1901 these are not the softest tires but they have really good grip and a good look and fit perfect on the rims.

How ever a LEGO crawler is not really a professional car and so the tires are good enough for me.

Axial Ripsaw tires installed on the 8297.

[Ralf]

Wow, the Axial Ripsaw look also really good, cool tires.

How much is the diameter?

I think 115mm?

[Mikuri]

We should update the first post with a list of Websites and Tires that fit specific rims.

Hi!

I have question about 3rd party wheels. Will http://dx.com/p/1-10...al-4-pcs-225381 fit to lego rims? Sorry for English, im from Poland

I just got a set of these but I am not able to test it by now. The rubber compound isn't very soft and is not as grippy as the RC4WD rock crusher. I think quality is a bit lower than the Gmade ones and not close at all to the RC4WD but given the price no complains.

i'd like to give my contribution. now i have my set of Ansmann tyres.

the new site is this one http://www.ansmann-r...startseite.html where you can find OLD part codes (211000224) instead of the new code 552110224

i buy them here http://www.ebay.it/itm/141137894706?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

they fit well with two option, using or not the two channel in lego rims (i'm not using). As you can see in photos the logo is changed from AR to KRT

two words about rims: according to bricklink http://www.bricklink...sp?P=44772&in=S , the same 44772 rim is teorically present in both sets 9398 and 42000, but this is not real!!!!

on the left 42000 rim, on the right the 9398 one. on the right you can see horizontal lines for support (i don't know how to call, apologize me)

i choose the second one.

It is real. Sets produced earlier have 3-hole rims unlike the later sets having 6-hole rims with reinforcements.

How do reinforced (6-hole) rims perform, is there any bumping, or uneven roll of the tyre?

i notice now the 3/6 hole difference. :D

to my eyes everything works really good. :)

GMade MT 1901 1,9"

105 mm outer diameter

38mm width

48mm inner diameter, fits in the original gap on the rim

16,90€ in germany, 20 US$ in the united states

100_0839 von efferman auf Flickr

fits on my planetary rims too

and to a Liebherr 574 in bruder profi scale

Here is my choice for the Boss Crawler: RC4WD Tomahawk 1.9"

http://www.ebay.fr/i...e-/110954128084

104 mm diameter

36 mm width

With a little care, the tires fit perfectly the Lego rims. The reinforcements in the new rims cause no problem at all.

I like the look and scale of these tires on the crawler. Of course, they perform much better than the original Lego tires.

Hi!

I was thinking about an order of these wheels, but they seems too cheap to me, and the seller doesn't wrote the company which produced the wheels, maybe they are copy/fake of the Ansmann and RC4WD wheels:

http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1438.l2649

(original: http://store.rc4wd.c...ires_p_691.html )

Or do you suggest to order the wheels from the USA (RC4WD)? How much would be the cheapest shipping for 4 wheels to EU (Hungary)? Should I pay additional charges in case of $30 value, or only the item+shipping price?

Is here anybody who ordered from RC4WD store to Europe?

I don't know what the shipping will be but i ordered from RC4WD to Sweden and i only payed $10 for it. That is not that bad. My advice is to simply add what you want to buy to the cart and then go to the checkout. The should give you an idea what the final shipping cost will be.

Hey everyone, I've decided to invest in some of these tires, but I'm stuck between the Rock Crusher XT 1.9s and the Ansmann ones that DreamsKnight posted about... Could you guys reccomend which to get or any better ones for me?

I also noticed the rock crushers need to be modified, is this modification easy and safe to do?

Thanks!

I own the Rock Crusher XT 1.9s. They fit perfect on both the 8070 and 41999 rims. Not sure why one would need to modify them.

Are your 8070 and 41999 rims the same?

Thank you! Do you use the 3 hole or 6 hole rims?

[piterx]

is there anything for these rims?

i really like the proportions of these wheels, it would be great if there's something a little bit more aggressive
