Wheels/tyre combos for the Amp MT - any suggestions please?

[valve90210]

With my Amp's tyres getting towards the end of their usable life I'm looking to get some new wheels and tyres, ideally something that's a pretty good all-rounder but without breaking the bank and was looking at these:

It's been a long while since I did any tinkering on the truck and I don't really remember the spec of the wheels aso was hoping someone might be able to tell me if they'll fit the amp and if anyone has any experience of these tyres?

Also, I'm open to any suggestions for wheels/tyres (ideally I'd like premounted combos) that fit, perform well and aren't too expensive.

Ta muchly.

I put these on mine, they look great and It handles much better too:

Duratrax Lockup MT 2.8" RC Monster Truck Tires with Foam Inserts, C2 Soft Compound... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GAMP6I8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_cKuDCb82GH14C

Sadly in the UK they're very expensive, looking at around £40 per pair, which when I only paid £90 for the Amp itself is crazy money!

Wow! You are right, that is crazy expensive. I paid for the set what you would be charged for two.

Those look just like the Duratrax. FYI - not sure if it was intentional but that listing you linked is for 1:16 size, not 1:10.

I came across these, but I run 2.2 duratrax six pack st in the rear and have the stock amp tires on the front. Yes I know the st stands for stadium truck but they're basically the same size as stock amp tires. Also have 2.8 duratrax lock up, they work great but have to modify the body so they don't rub.

Do they make spacers for the wheels to stick out more? That would help run the 2.8s!! ?? ?
