You can get aluminum Vanquish clone beadlocks on eBay for the same price as the wagon wheels fyi. And no fiddly center hub beadlock screws to deal with. I’ve also seen those wheels literally cut tire beads off under normal use. Sand edges accordingly if you use them. The stock plastic wheels have much less rotational mass, so you’ll get better runtime and get up and go. Milstone makes brass wideners on eBay with barrel screws for added width and weight, but not as much as changing out wheels adds. Excellent option, maybe the best from what I’ve used. And I love aftermarket wheels on my bigger rigs.

some great tires for the cost are prolines hyrax. they come on plastic beadlocks so your not gaining a weight advantage but they less than 30 bucks for all 4 and they are a significant improvement over the stock deadbolt tires

[toxiccrawlers]

You can flip the rims and bolt the hex hub onto the face of the rim and make them deep dish and give you a wider stance

IF you are going for performance, the Treal Overdrive gears is a must.

Upgrading the tires made the biggest difference for me it crawls so much better and much less tire spins so far I have $14 tires from Amazon, lift suspension, upgraded servo (steering motor) and lights with those upgrade it drives so much better

[gwpattrick]

Oh i upgraded my deadbolt. I got the hr racing axle housing and all the brass for them. And shocks, and the links. I got the extension drive shafts too and brass weights. I'll have look into them tires and the servo. Too

[mattharris]

Great choice guys for the budget build. Their are so many things for scx24s now.

[damonwheeler]

A way to lift the body off the tires is to move the shocks off the shock mounts, and move down to the frame. I have done that with my Jeep and C-10's. FREE UPGRAGE, AND NO TRIMMING

[deaganewing]

I would recommend looking at Treal and Hot Racing. They have some good aluminum as well as brass upgrades. I would recommend the aluminum steering link by Treal they make in a few different colors including a green color for the betty.

[Legoman]

I would like to see the shocks next week. Also Coming from the 1/10 scale world I’m a bit lost where to put my money with the shocks. All ready did wheels and tyres same wheels stamped RC4WD beadlocks and yes they are my least favourite beadlocks I have ever put together. I went with the km3’s happy with them. A few printed bits. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Just ordered myself the 24th Deadbolt, got it at the original price. This series is going to help me figure out my upgrades.

[EXPIOWA]

You took a very different path for wheels and tires than I would have.
Good luck. : )

[jokr]

I just got a betty yesterday in mint condition and i couldn't be happier. Ran across your channel and i really dig the budget build vids 🔥💯 i had to subscribe! Great content 🙌

[TheWright]

These series are the best. My wheel of choice for the scx24 though is the SSD bead locks. Having that extra weight down low makes a big difference for these trucks

[BNIRc]

I was able to trim stock tires and cut a 21mm brass busing that slides perfect into rim, but don't know if I like that stock jeep tire compound, definitely going check those tires out excellent information bro.

[shredcraftrc]

Loved my scx24, I went with the rc4wd beadlocks and km3 tires, it was a great combo!

[oishialloadmin]

put the hub on the outside of the wheel...free wheel wideners

[BlindGuyRc]

YES!!!. This one will be awesome, you can do so much with these little trucks for cheap.

[yupyup]

Flip the Rc4wd hubs an make the ring deep dish to gain width
