I found the 1402R Supertire to work nicely on the stock skinny wheel...

I ended up going with the 1408 super tires so I do hope they will fit the stock rims . The 1402s were out of stock . I will have to see when they arive on saturday.

The 1408's fit perfectly.

I would not have recommended them if they did not.

Thank you Fl Iam sorry if i offended you . There are so many tire choices . Some times we newbies second guess what we buy. I have not recieved the car yet and read that there was a clearence issue with the tire and gear.

I found that by leaving the 0 mm offset motor pod setup as the car comes with, there is more clearance to work with.

Or you could slide the rear wheels in on the axles to provide the clearance.

No, you did not offend me. I'm just one of those that only offers advice when they have done it themselves and know that it works. Never a problem, just trying to be of assistance.

Once you remove the stock wheels, won't you already have a set of the inserts?

Good question, but I have a white body (spraying silver) and a spare chassis i am using to race, so would like to put inserts into the SC2009´s that are to go onto a Slot.it 74 1.00 offset pod and a Flat 6 R (awaiting the RS), I am fitting to the modified chassis.

Anyone know where I can buy the inserts please.
