Hex Adpaters
Try Country Alloy Works, (CAW) they make them and you can contact them via their Ebay shop.
Not quite as cheap as the Trinity adapters, but still still a great product.
Here's mine with 10th scale off road wheels & tires
And here it is with 10th scale road wheels

TC Wheels
I haven't tried the road wheels yet - the Road Runner is awaiting spares, but the dirt wheels are great - I have two RC18Ts
The best thing about touring car wheels is the ground clearance

Hot Racing has these sedan wheel adaptors in stock. They are a bit wider than the Trinity ones and cheaper.

Mondo, I've been debating whether or not to buy an RC18T or wait for the Xray M18T to come out. However, I really like the look of your Associated with the Rally tires on it. Just wondering which tire and wheel combo you are using? Your entire truck looks awesome!

Morati,
Thanks for the compliments
I am also awaiting the XRay M18T to add to my collection, but they are really dragging their feet with the release.
At least the RC18T is available as are spares, hop-ups and lots of feeback from hardcore RC18T owners like alfred, quietfly and jaejw1 to name a few..
I've turned the Road Runner into a full FT Billet version now and this is what it looks like. I am using Losi foams on it in these photos
The RC18T is great, it has it's flaw, but then again, which Micro doesn't?
Put the right hop ups on it and it's a sure fire winner!

LOL, that shoud have read "flaws"
The flaws are the standard plastic outdrives. Add some stainless outdrives or some new MIP SuperDiff steel outdrives and you're smiling. Don't forget the diff shims - if your RC18T didn't come with any
The steering can be a little sloppy too, but hey, it's (supposed to be) an offrioad vehicle
Other things that break easy are the axles, so MIP CVDs are in order to cure that.
Put a Graupner Speed 300 in the beast and woooohoooooo!! we have a flyer.
