Comparing Different Sized Tires and Wheels on my RocHobby 1:6 Scale JEEP!

I've seen many other great RC channels show the differences between 1.9" and 2.2" wheels and tires; However, I haven't seen one specifically devoted to the 1:6 scale RocHobby Willys Jeep. More running in the dirt videos to come!

Did this wheel combo on the fj40, just did a washer on front left (driver) side to avoid wheel rub. Cool combo. 👍

[@joweemac]

This is just the video I was looking for….. I’m looking at the Proline Grunt tires and thanks to you i found what type of rims i need…. This is very helpful.

[@carlbModels]

you're a very bad man! putting ideas of customisation of a truck before I even get it... 👍🍺🇬🇧.

[@rcjono]

Great share, just what I was looking for! Subbed

[@michaelgravlund9194]

I have seen a lot of videos where they used 2.2" wheels and they look just awesome. But they have also changed the axles, so the wheels are a bit further away from the body. Great video and very inspiring to me 😄👍

[@EnricoPiccioli]

very useful video, but i miss something about the way you were be able to mount the hexagonal nuts for the new wheels, what have you had to modify? thank you.

[@brandonbrooks6210]

I had similar issues finding the right fit for my 1/6 scale FMS Suzuki jimny. I have a nice set if 1.9 steel wheels that look the part but a 1.9 wheel on a sixth scale truck would be like running atv wheels on a full size vehicle. I ended up getting some 2.2 wheels and stretched some 1.9x4.75 rc4wd Milestar Patagonias . I have discovered that treal makes a 2.2 vintage style wheel that looks a lot like the landies but with six lugs. Thinking about ordering those

[@thiagoandes2951]

I kinda like the 1st and the 2.2 I have watch the other video with 2.2 it looks good but rubbed a little. I’m waiting on mine and did you have to add extension hub on the 2.2 tires or does fit well without extension?

[@Jeepy84]

Do you happen to still have the NDTs? I just got one of these used and want to leaf spring it and put the stock wheels and tires back on but the PO sold them.

[@danieljuggins3439]

Weathered grey would look great. Like those 2.2's but the chunky 1.9's on landy wheels get my vote.

[@JoeOvercoat]

Thank you for creating this helpful video. You are a gentleman and a scholar. p.s. pick a driver, then pick the color to suit. that aside…light blue. 😊

[@pinoyrc77]

Awesome build…. What adapter did you used to accommodate different tires? Thanks is it spacer?

[@boldrbangr9834]

Love the look of the white Landies, but the 1.9's are a little too small for 1/6 scale. RC4WD used to have 2.2 Landies (not beadlocks & no longer in production). For me, something in the 4.75 to just over 5" is a good tire size with 2.2's. Stretching 1.9 4.75's over 2.2 wheels is an option.

[@RafaelSilva-oh1tx]

Hi, mate! Your video is just great, very educational. Do 1.9 wheels fit well on the steering assembly?

[@Rcallday]

i would have never even considered 2.2's but now that i have seen them actually on the truck i like them the most

[@GuyOnTwoWheels]

Love it😊

[@chalinp4886]

What battery do i need to run help

[@RC-CARS-WORLD]

great video bro 🙃🙃😀

[@davidburke5686]

Might be worth trying the 1.9 Prolines on the 2.2 yeah racing wheels.

[@65SEEJAYFIVE]

Stretch them out? I’ve seen it done but never tried it myself.

[@rubiken06]

I second David's opinion.

[@chalinp4886]

Yeah i want to sees that

[@izzysantiago978]

When comparing the RocHobby jeep to the 1/6th scale Dragon models Jeep, Its is a tad smaller in width and length. Tires are a tad smaller as well but over all and awesome RC model for collecting.

[@mikeharris7885]

I was smitten by 2.2 tyres seen on another video but in reality it looked like a small Jeep body perched on four big wheels, in fairness it was a (modified) Dragon plastic kit body on a owner design chassis. Then I watched your video and have ordered the 'pricy' 1.9 Landies and the Goodridge km3 tyres you approved of, don't know if I will leave the landies white or paint them the same colour as the jeep. Where did you get the wheel centre locking nut as the jeep originals don't look they will be suitable?

[@beneditoginez7641]

Olá não falo seu idioma mas compreendi sua explicação de diferença de pneus.

[@chalinp4886]

Do you know of any driveline upgrades for rear my broke when i put trx4 2.2s

[@65SEEJAYFIVE]

Not really, I am upgrading my steering knuckles to aluminum.

[@chalinp4886]

Very help full info w

[@montwolfman]

Nice video. I just received my Willy. It did 5, 1 second runs and then quit. Banggood don't respond. Advice anyone? Is it the esc or the receiver that quit?

[@65SEEJAYFIVE]

What battery are you running? Did you make sure the ESC is set to the particular battery you are running? That would be my first thing to check.

[@michaelwier1222]

It looks much better with the last set of wheels and tires! I've always been into RC, but never owned one. If I take the plunge I think I'd go with an RC tank, I like tanks. Why do I own a jeep? Because I can't own/afford a tank. You were speaking of painting your RC to match your 3b. What color is your 3b? Mine is an ugly orange and will one day repaint it. I do like the color of your 3b. Thanks for the video.

[@barneymiller7894]

I'd say 1.9s or a shorter 2.2 tire for the stock body. For a big 2.2 you need some comp cuts on the tub lol

[@mcakabigmike]

What battery are you running on it

[@65SEEJAYFIVE]

3S LiPo 5000mah

[@sprather84]

Love the 1-9 The Landing Wheels look awesome have you seen the proline grunts like a military style tires I haven't tried a set but those might look pretty awesome on that

[@ricardobocanegra7352]

How can I send you a couple pictures of the setup that I have on my rock hobby Jeep?

[@sprather84]

Make a short video and post it on KZbin I want to see it as well

[@65SEEJAYFIVE]

I do have an email, [e-mail] or find me on Instagram @65seejayfive 👍🏻 I’d love to see your setup.

[@themouas]

Does the Jeep come with adjustable height?

[@65SEEJAYFIVE]

Yes and no. The spring rates are adjustable, so if you soften it, it does sit a little lower and the suspension is super soft. If you tighten it, it will raise it slightly.

[@billsummerhill5550]

Should get the leaf spring kit for more scale

[@ctmandu]

i use SSD Assassin wheels and tires are Pit Bull RC Braven Berserker these are shorter tires at 5.12 and not 5.5 like most. looks great and does not rub on my rochobby. i am also running G-made 94mm Zero shocks on all 4 corners . if you want check out my facebook group if you haven't already. facebook.com/groups/rcwillysjeep

[@jamesh950]

Yeah 1.9 seems right. Would the larger wheels effect the drive train durability ?

[@65SEEJAYFIVE]

Not sure honestly. It’s built really stout. Check out my latest video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmK4ont4a7aVa6M

[@zanderflander7880]

The smaller rc4wd tires look best hands down, big ones look terrible.

[@Kylejeepadventures]

I have 2012 Axial scx10 v1 Jeep JKU on 40s (2.2) running 21t homes hobby brushed motor, castle sidewinder 3 ESC, hitec metal servo. Thinking of selling & like to 3D print a 1:10 CJ5 body & get a cheap leaf spring roller with metal axles. Since $ is hard on me right now.

[@canveiros]

Eu estou com um desses, vendendo barato. completão com peças e acessórios extras, controle, duas baterias, tuuuudo perfeito. Vendo por 2.500 - Frete por conta do comprador.

[@FlyB4UDie]

I ordered these wheels for my Willys jeep, Pineapplen Juego de 4 Llantas de Rueda Beadlock de Metal 2.2 para 1/10 RC Crawler Car TRX4 TRX6 Axial SCX10 RR10 Piezas, Titanio www.amazon.es/gp/product/B091GV7TVW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Late to this party but the white steelies would be what, a 10" rim in 1/6 scale? 😃Pretty goofy looking along with the tire size and are clearly 1/10 scale (if truly 1/10 scale, barely anything is).
