Just bought a used Slash 4x4 VXL, its my first expensive RC car I've owned. The vehicle came with 2 sets of wheels, but one of the offroad wheels has a damaged rim, so currently I'm using the road tires which don't get great offroad traction. The rims are Proline 2772 but their site says they have been discontinued. I'd rather not have to buy 4 new rims if i can help it (as i don't want mismatched rims). Also is it possible to remove the tires from the rims cleanly and put them on another rim? i can see that they have glue around the edges so not sure what would be involved in removing them without damage. If the rims arent available anywhere what would be a good alternative rim assuming the tires can be removed from the rims? I would probably want one with the swappable hub so that this issue would be much easier to rectify if it happened to me.

Still new to all this stuff and my local hobby shop is not allowed to have anyone in the store for the next month due to our Provincial restrictions... Their website doesn't have any stock so i don't want to tie up their phone for ages while i try to figure out what i want/need. Any help would be appreciated.

The tires on these rims are some Proline BadlandsMX #10156 if that matters at all

attached is a picture of the rim that is damaged (its supposed to be a 12mm hex) and they don't have a swappable hub
I can't attach the picture because i don't meet the minimum post requirement, you can see them on my profile

Best way to remove tires is to get some acetone, pour some into a bucket, then suspend the tires above the acetone, and cover the top of the bucket. The fumes from the acetone will take care of the glue without damaging the tires. Depending on the tire foams, you may have to replace them however.

Let em marinate in the bucket for about 24 hours.
