ROAR says 11.42 min and 11.65 max width on the truck. You might be able to fudge the hexes with the different wheels to make it all work with in specs. The Pro-line axle makes it difficult because the grove in the axle for the hinge pin does not allow you to move it in and out. So you are stuck with where the hole is for the hex pin.

how do you guys know which wheel has a zero offset?

I was always confused on the offset part when it comes to wheels.

Pro-line has a wheel that they call zero off-set. From what I understand the old standard 12mm hex wheel is something like 4mm of positive off-set. The new Losi and AE 4w SC trucks use the new off-set of wheel that basically is what a zero off-set would be. DE Racing offers them under the Losi ten-scte section. DE Racing

So if i get the proline adapters.. these wheels would fit on my sc10,slash and losi?

They will not work on the slash unless you have Pro-lines protrac suspension kit on it. They only fit the 4w short course Losi. The 2w SC losi takes a different rear wheel and the front uses bearings so no hex kit for that yet. BUT you can get the Jconcepts rear hex kit for the Losi 2w and THEN the zero off-set wheel will work on the rear of that truck. Your stilled screwed on the front of the Losi 2w truck though.

Holy S#!* that is confusing.

SC manufactures need to get there stuff straght and make only one wheel off-set work on there design like 1/8 scales do.

If you use the proline conversion kits you must use the Proline Pro Trac zero offset wheels or an equivelant...I think DE makes a set.

To try to use any Blitz or Slash wheels you will need to do a "homemade" mod of some sort....or a mix of the Proline Kit with Narrow hexes from a Kyosho, HPI or STRC...but it will still slightly widen the vehicle.

For now I decided it wasnt worth the effort ...... I would spend $50+ to try reuse my tires and wheels, then possibly end up with something I dont like...I will run the stock style wheels until I have an issue, then I will look it over again.

I tried the OEM bearings...didn't make much of a difference.

Yeah I don't think its worth the hassel if you don't plan on owning a 4w SC made by Losi or AE.

Wow ok im a little confused..

I have a slash with protrac..

I have an SC10 and i have the front hub and rear hex kits from Proline.

Im geting a Losi ten SCTe.

So if i pick up the De wheels will they fit on all trucks i own?

Cameron Kellogg

iTrader: (45)

YES! You have the magic combo of all the right stuff for that one wheel to work on all those trucks. Actually that's pretty cool.

Here is some great info from another member posted on RCTech. I guess I need to stop calling them "zero off-set wheels"



10th scale short course wheel compatibility...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's what I have measured so far, and a few numbers I got from other places:


wheel_______backspacing
SC104x4____32mm____1-1/4"
SCT-E ______32mm____1-1/4"
Protrac _____32mm____1-1/4"
XXXSCTrear__29mm?___1-1/8"?
Slash/Blitz ___22mm_____7/8"
Slash front ?


Backspacing is the distance from the mounting surface to the inside edge of the wheel.



Mounting a blitz wheel for example, on the back of a XXXSCT adds 1/4" width to each side, 1/2" total.

If you guys have any of these other measurements, let me know.
