Default Hobbypartz 1/8 MT Tires

I'm considering purchasing these tires from Hobbypartz http://www.hobbypartz.com/mad-wc1023.html
But I can't find any info on the site regarding hex size, and overall tire dimensions. Has anyone purchased a set of these (or other 1/8 MT tires) from them? Any input? Thanks.

They look like the stock wheels for the Exceed Madstorm with different tires. I have a madstorm, hence how I know. It's a 17mm wheel. I can get you width and height sizes later today.

Perfect, thanks a lot!

FYI, I'm running a Losi XXL, so I'm hoping they're somewhere in the size-range of the XXL stockers.

There's a thread covering a bunch of the hobbypartz tires over at wondertiger:

They seem to be really good, especially for the money.

I just got a couple pairs in the mail yesterday. I havent had a chance to run them yet but they look nice. Here are some pics I took to show what they look like on my savage xl & in comparison with some other tires.

I got a chance to test them out yesterday & I like them. I have to change all my shift points but the tires dont balloon a lot & makt my xl a little more stable when turning. I'd give these wheels & tires a 5 out of 5 star rating for great looks, value & performance so far.

Be careful with them though, my buddy has them on his savage X with a lrp .30 and after about 2 hours of use the glue failed and the tires came off the wheels. Luckily he didn't crash but i don't think they glue them enough. That's the only downfall we've noticed with them so far and he has two sets.

Remember there are two different sizes, and part number to each type of tire.

Have you changed hubs? The stock XXL runs the Losi 20mm hubs.

Can you let me know the other specifications of your Monster Truck.Also, I would like to know if the name of your product is MAD-WC1023 or not.Also,1/8th Monster Tire & Rims is all what you are looking for in this website I guess.

They will work on anything with a 17mm hex.
