Just make sure youve got the drag links installed that tie the gear
box to the sill, and probly stick to 26" goodyears which r much
cheaper too. Make the little rebel look wicked.

[rebel-builders] 31" Bushwheels

I've got the 26" AkBushwheel Airstreaks on my Champ. They are the same weight as 8.50's and are certified to 1650lbs I believe. They are a MUCH better tire than the 26" Goodyears. The GY has very stiff sidewalls and on the light Champ there is a big difference between the two tires. The Bushwheels are like landing on marshmellows. :)

very true. i run the goodyears on my supercub and they are very stiff. but i
operate on pavement so bushwheels are out of the question. how much does a
pair of akbw 26" go for? definitely the way to go if you got the cash.
