Third Party Tires for Lego Technic Rims

[EyesOnly]

I sure i wont have to do something similar to the kind i ordered. I would probably mess it up.

You won't have to alter your Crazy Crawler tires. Just a little of fanagling to get the beads fitted perfectly. They even fit the new BOSS wheels I tried it yesterday. Maybe I'll post a pic later.

Please do. It'll be a few weeks before mine arrives but i'll keep the pic for reference. BTW what beads. I thought those was on the original rc-style wheels, not the tires. But i don't really know anything about that.

Tire bead is the edge of the tire that sits on the wheel. It's the rubber sleeve on madjelly's pic (previous post you commented about) that he was trimming for better fit around the wheel/rim's outside grooves.

Ok. Here is wikipedia on the subject on beadlock. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadlock Beadlock wheels are recommended for the third party tires i've seen but before this i didn't know what the heck beadlocks are or why i should care. Well worth reading. In short beadlocks as the name implies are something used to clamp the beads on a tire to the wheel so it doesn't come of. Not needed so much on road as off.

Thanks for this! I got two sets of these, along with a set of 4 black 44772 rims. I'm pretty freakin' stoked...lol

Sorry to bump this old topic, but i was wondering whether these Team Losi tires, http://www.amazon.co... Tire, Blue (2) , will fit on 44772 rims without glue?

[EyesOnly]

Well is looks like the 3-5 week shipping time need to be changed a bit because the tires arrived today, just one week after i ordered them. Still it will be some time before i have something to mount them on. I guess i could put them on my 9398 but it will still be a few hours before i'm done building it. I sure didn't think it would be this fast but i don't mind at all.

Here's a crappy iphone pic of the crazy Crawler tires on the 41999 wheel. I like the way they look on my modded 9398.

They look great. I just put a set of Losi Rock Claws on all black rims on my 41999. Personally, i love it. I can't wait to stick 'em on my 9398, when i get it and build it tomorrow.

Here's a picture with them on, and there's two more in spoiler bar.

Wow your boss crawler looks extra amazing from that angle! xD

[Tubby]

I like the way those tyres deform under load, they're foam filed as well aren't they?

Is there a link to where you can get them from in this thread somewhere? I googled for them but they seem to come in a range of sizes and I'm not sure which ones I need.

Thank you! It does look fantastic.

Here you go, Tubby. They are currently $5.87 for a set of two from this seller via Amazon. They shipped very fast.

They are foam filled, yes. The rubber is so soft, that this deformation happens anyway, which i think looks awesome. They are insanely grippy and make a perfect fit for the 44772 rim.

Those are cool, but they aren't the tires shown on my pictures above.

Thanks guys.

I just went and bought from that seller as well I've seen videos and they perform really well

[VKTechnic]

Bought some of these tires, and been working on a mini BOSS to go along with them .

[EyesOnly]

While fitting the crazy krawler tires to the rims i decided to check the weight. Here is a table showing the tires and rims measured.

crazy krawler: 69 gr 84 with rims

44772: 15 gr

power puller: 182 gr

new: 16 gr

As you can see the power pullers are more than twice as heavy as the third party tires. I also measured the new rims and they weigh 16 gr compared to the old ones 15. BTW i fitted one of the CK on a newer rim at it looks to be working. There was another thread regarding the new rims not working with third party tires and i don't think that all third party tires are affected by the change. But i haven't and wont at the moment test drive them. Maybe something changes then.

I don't know if it will fit, however they do look a bit thin. Well I hope it works, and also welcome to Eurobricks!

So, I should try. Well, 20$ is not a large summ to loose if they will not fit. Ok, gonna order them shortly.

Thanks.

[efferman]

it seems that they are 1.9" tires, and with a width of 36mm they should fit properly on the three hole rims of 9398/8110

[Rockbrick]

I recently ordered these:

I hope they fit.... they are 4.25 x 1.45 x 1.9"

Dear mate,

These tires fits good as 108 mm with the same thread pattern. I have these tires with 108 mm, 96 mm and 90 mm. All are OK

Here is the MOC with 96 mm tires
