Eazy RC Arizona 1/18 wheel and tyre upgrade

I have had my eyes on the Eazy RC Arizona for a while now and I have decided to see what they are all about. My intentions are to modify this and use it as a indoor crawler.

First on the mods list is wheels and tires and of course my go to was RC4WD beadlocks and tires, This is what i decided to use. 

• RC4WD stamped steel 1.0 beadlock wheels (z-w0229)
• RC4WD BFGoodrich T/A KM3 1.0 tires (Z-T0200)

For this I will be using my Trusty tamiya tool set, you only really need a 1.5mm hex driver for the beadlock wheels and a 4mm driver for the wheel nuts. 

It is worth me pointing out at this point that these wheels will fit this model however you have to put them together in a specific way. The forst thing you need to do is put the hex hub on to the wheel hex and tighten the wheel nut. Once this is done you need to place the inner ring of the wheel inside the tire and then put the back section of the rim onto the hex hub ensuring that the holes are lined up. 

Now you can put the front face of the rim on ( checking that the holes are lined up ) and apply some pressure onto the entire rim and scre the wheels screws in until they are just tight. I will add that this was a tricky job due to how small the components are however it is possible so if you are planning on doing this just bare in mind it is a bit fiddly.

The end result!

I love it! I think the RC4WD wheels and tire give a much more scale look and these tires have foam inserts making them much more stable than the stock wheels and tires.
