I cant find them, the link you gave goes to a tire set that is $30, and the only other tires are "balloon tires" that are $2.99

The link is broken. The item (5274) that you listed is too small. I'm 90% sure of it. Plus, the "add to cart" option isn't available. I have a lot of Legos (standard, technic, castle, etc.) and those wheels are closer to 3/4" in diameter than 1" (like the Overland needs). If my Legos weren't in storage at my mom's, I'd take a measurement. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Those wheels and tires are very common. Guess we'll have to wait for someone to measure.

BTW, I also posted a couple of messages on the BrickLink Forum. I will definately let you know when I hear something.

I did look at my kids lego and what I could see It's the same (10x30 mm) as wrcracer use. If you find them to small, look for item # 5270, it's 2 43 mm tall tires with hub...

About the broken link, I guess you should maybe be a costumer at the lego shop, or at least allow cookies in you browser =)

update: It was my cookie, registerd buyer at swedish lego shop

I did a product # search however and found this:
http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?prod_id=5270

Because there's a difference between monster trucks and off-road trucks. Personally, I don't like monster trucks. I've got a Tamiya Wild Willy Jr. kit and a Testors Monster Truck kit that I could easily use. When I put the wheels up to my Overland, it just looked silly. Plus, don't those monster truck tires increase your turning radius? I've heard many people have had to decrease their steering sensativity because of it...and you can't add rear-wheel steering to an Overland (well, not very easily).

My humble apologies

You are right wrc, my comment was hypocritical.

I encourage all young people to build, modify, kit bash, and tweak as much as possible to whatever end they like.

Anything is better than buying RTR.

c0ckeyed00, you go, girl. (just an expression)

The addition of the testors wheels turned my overland into a overland killer. I could have turned it back to stock, but the monster is better.. Turn radius can be as small as 1.5' but that is to tight for the straight away speeds it can reach with the altered gear ratio. I have one stock & one monster overland & the kids always want the monster. The increased wheel diameter makes it go over edges much easier. And the lift kit makes it so you dont need to remove the body to change batteries.
