sorry for necromancy and reviving this thread but I need your help!
I bought and used Supastox GT and I m quite happy but which parts would I need to change the wheels to nower days more comon 3 hole rims/wheels? (solid axle)
I m not sure but I would need an new rear axle and also front?
thanks for your help

Drop a message to Schumacher, they will give you the info. Not sure if it's possible as been a while since I had one. They might have an axle option that fits https://www.racing-cars.com/contact-us

My understanding is you'd definitely need a different differential for the 3 hole mounts. What I don't know is how the metric bearings for the kit SupaStox GT rear axle would work with that, as it is likely that new differential and axle would be imperial.
Assuming you want to also run the latest GT12 or 12th front wheels, then again it would be new front axles as well given the SupaStox GT was again metric and the new wheels and bearings are imperial.
Which is where Schumacher can advise if it is feasible, and just how many parts it would need if it is.

I thinking of buying eclipse spool and front axle (both should fit the ssgt), but I wait for answer from schumacher....

ok schumacher told me its not working because ssgt got a symetric pod and the 3 holes models got asymetric one. so no GT12 wintercup for me

Can't you still get the old style wheels/tyres somewhere? If it is a control tyre rule which limits it to newer 3 hole style then have a word with the club/organisers to make an exception. The SSGT was ok for it's time but is a fair way off the newer cars so as long as you use tyres with a similar shore rating you won't have any advantage

I bought a cheap SSGT Roller but not thought about the rims... and local Wintercup uses a Hspeed tire with 3 holes... maybe I sell the ssgt again and buy a atom but not sure. I still bougth a pair of tyres so I can drive it for fun.
thanks for your help, I hoped I can change just some parts!

Looks interesting and well made. However, I don't understand why they would use bushings up font and there doesn't seem to be a diff of any kind. The proprietary foam wheels and spur gears has me taking a pass and I haven't seen 32P gears on electrics in decades either. They should have used standard wheel hexes and standard mini rubber rims and tires as sold by HPI and Tamiya.
