Does anybody know the dimensions and hex size of the LOSA7738 white dish rims for the Losi 8ight-T?
Horizon's website is kinda worthless for that infoSad

no, i think they are standard mt tires. the stock tires just have a low profile look.

I got a free pair of Axial oversized Cubes (40 series) and would like to try them out on the E-Revo, but would prefer regular dish wheels to Pro-Line's Wabash or something really blingy, but also need something that'll fit 17mm hexes since it now has the Platinum Edition 17mm hexs on it. I wouldn't mind trying those at some point though.

17MM is the standard right now.
LSP lots of Khz, Werks .28 8 port.

That's why I'm so suprised how difficult it's been to find 17mm 40 series dishes, I figured htere'd be a ton out there.

the 40 Series was like a big thing with the 23MM and the Monster truck guys. They are pretty much wasteful, Lo Pro is the best right now, but I still use standard wheels and they are okay.

Actually, the reasons I'm looking for the Wabashes and the 8ight-T dishes in particular is that I wanted something as light as possible to mount those freebee tires on without having to bump up to the extra expense and weight of the 23mm hexes or go back to the stock 14mm steel hexes. I also have a set of black Hellfire rims that I'll need tires for eventaully, but that'll be down the road....
