Default Are 420 and 40 series the same?

Bought some 40 series proLine bead locks. I want some of the new Losi paddles but they're 420. Any one know if the will work?

Thanks in advance.

no the 40 series have a 4" wheel. 420s have a 4.2" wheel. Kinda a pain in the ass i know but thats the way it is. Proline makes a set of sand paddles.

I always tought the 420 was 4" and has 20mm hexes, so it should be no problem to use a 420 Losi tire on a Proline rim.

losi 420 are not 4.2 inches.

420 means that it is a 4 inch wheel with a 20 mm hex.
They will only work on trucks that have losi 20 mm hex.

You can use any 40 series wheels with losi 420 tires. 40 series tires with will work with 420 wheels, except that you can only use them with 20 mm losi hex.
