You will need to make them. I purchased a few old adapters and remade them to fit the rear wheels & non bearing fronts and the bearing fronts. If you neeed any ideas PM me and i'll shoot you some pictures.

That looks sweet but will it fit a BRP wheesl with or without bearings? If you posted it you must have one so lets us know. What size is the main arbor shaft?

I use the Inetgy tire truer for the BRP tires. For the front (with barrings) I use the 1/12th scale arbor:

For the rear I use the 1/8th arbor - but I had to modify it slightly:

The modification is taping the end of the arbor that attaches to the truer for a 4-40 screw. The rear tire will fit on, and I run the 4-40 screw threw the tire and tighten it to the arbor. This works very well.
Looking at the Exotec arbors, I am not sure if they will fit the rear tire. But at $8.00, it's worth seeing if one will!

OK - the Exotec (all 3) do not fit the BRP tires. I tried....
