if they are then it could be the tires and rims would be larger, and good for some different projects

The answer is no...without modification. I have in front of me a 1/10 axle, a 1/6 axle a 1/10 rim and tire and a 1/6 rim and tire.

The rim on the 1/6 is held on to the metal "axle-shaft", which is NOT a "hex", by a Steel Nut with nylon lockthreads. The axle-shaft is sort of shaped like this : 0 a cricle with squared off sides as to apply pressure to the rim, which has a correspondingly shaped hole. This hole is going to be the weak spot on the 1/6, in my humble opinion. The shape only needs a little extra torque to spin them into circles. Im sure some epoxy and a hex shaped reciever of the same size would allow the 1/10 hex axleshaft to fit on the 1/6 rim.


On the reverse side, the 1/10 rim on the 1/6 axleshaft doesnt look like it will work either for the same reason. I'm sure a similar solution would work with this configuration, but why would you want to?

If anyone wants pictures of any of these i will post them on request.

No the 1/6 tires won't fit without extreme modification, and, like i mentioned before, the 1/6 tires are HARD. No stickiness and soft grip like the 1/10.
