The Kyosho buggies use 12mm hex fitment wheels - Schumachers used to use 14mm hexes, but seem to have switched to the Losi standard - c.10mm hex on the front, drive pin on the back.

Wheels that fit Kyoshos include Ansmann and Academy rims.

Thanks for that, much appreciated.

Also for anyone else looking it appears that Hong Nor crt5 or something along that name also has a tenth scale wheel that looks interesting and fits. Its for a truggy but as the scale is smaller it should be the same size as a rear wheel. Will update whan I have a pair.

Hehehe yes if I had a ZX5 I would but those wheels are from a ZX-S and unfortunately I need to push the front out more and find narrower rear wheels to make the rear end narrower. Ive already gone on to the narrowest hexes on the rear so its now finding suitable alternatives.
