I use mainly Tamiya wheels. They are very good quality, very stiff. I also use Losi wheels, they are far more flexible. I don't think Associated have the right off-set. They bind up.

B44 fronts have too deep hex and rub on the hub. I've assumed rears are right, I've been using them without issue but never put it in a 'box'.

You can use B44 rims on the front if you space them .5mm. That should take care of them rubbing on the hubs.

Yeah, a few of non-Tamiya rims rub, use a spacer, or just use Tamiya rims. They're very nice.

And we stock them in 4 colours!! White, yellow, pink and now black!

These need to be spaced also mate. Best ones for 511 are the factory rims or losi, all I ever used.

I also know Shcumacher wheels fit if you don't use a hex on the fronts, but seem to be very weak compared to the Tamiya ones.

Funnily enough, the Tamiya wheels are the best fit.

Reason for all the fuss is that Tamiya importer here in Norway went under from the economics crises, so Tamiya are almoast non existant here. So i am trying to find out what would work localy :-)

Hi, We're always shipping to mainland Europe and have loads of Tamiya wheels in stock.

Drop me or Simon (above) an email to admin@rclazy.com and we'll happily quote to send you out loads of shiny round things!

Cheers

Mark
