The tires for the t are a little taller and will rub or not fit under the xsc shell. I have a xsc and have tried T and B fronts and rears. 5 b. Fronts fit and Work the best

Well as far as body rub. I was thinking about gettin a grafil body so im not stuck with the same blye body as most lol. Another guy thru my lhs is running t wheels on his xsc with trenchers i beleive. But havent had a chance to ask him how they r working

I have trencher fronts and rears and they rub alot. You will have to jack the body sky high to relive it and it looks rediculos with stock body. But graffill would work good with front trenchers I would imagine. RCDAD would know im sure

Just to clarify the 5b & 5t front wheels are the same. The 5t tires are taller.

With the Grafil body you can run the 5t fronts. Proline Trenchers (fronts) would work.

These are 5b fronts on all fours. I have the body pretty low.

Those completely tuck. They don't rub even when the suspension is bottomed out.

RC Dad- What kind of tires are those? I know they are for the 5b but what brand/model? They look pretty nice on there.

I have one lay'n on the bench. LOL I'll get it installed some day. Grafil has a new SC body that will be even a better fit for the Redcat. It will be much tougher!
