I broke down and got one today... not sure where to start with it other than just start over!!!

I got a few things in mind... some new wheels... some shocks...

Already have a Losi 1/10 crawler on order.

What I did for the wheels was just put a 3/4 inch wide of two inch pvc pipe on the wheels to make them true beadlocks and they hold fine with some weight in them, and its a whole lot cheaper then any other aftermarket beadlock and works really well. Just another option thats alot cheaper

[Cajun]

I don't understand what you mean, could you show us a pic?

[Silas]

MRCs don't have real bead locks... plastic rings with the tires glued to the rim behind it.

What he is doing is making a back peice (goes inside the tire, around the rim) that the bead lock can screw to.

[Silas]

What off set of 1.9 wheels keep it legal...

Looking for a good set... any ideas anyone?

1.9 Eritex Comp Heavy's
I believe he has them in a wide offset. You can get a 2mm difference by going with the alum hexes by Losi.

4-link plate for the rear... guess I could measure it out for the front too with servo mount! It would just have to be longer (deeper).

[Silas]

With curved corners instead of sharp....

Is there room on both sides of the servo for link mounts?

OH, I see. Thanks!

Not if you use a standard servo. Got my 5955 on there with a servo plate from the ax10. No room side to side for the links, but if you make the plate deep enough you can mount them behind the servo. THe image I have is for the rear, no servo...

[HillCrawler]

Yeah its acutally really easy to turn them into beadlocks the only problem is with the pvc pipe it is hard to put alot of weight in them

Yeah I just saw that on RC crawler but I just ordered some Mayhems so I think ill have to pass on those

[Silas]

Yeah.. I had aready picked up the Losi Aluminum wheels... :) oh well!

[rockshow]

I'm glad I waited!

[renoirbud]

Those wheels do look very nice.

I really hope I get the upgraded lockers very soon, else I will wear out the fasteners from constantly replacing the plastic lockers.

[Silas]

I got some lockers today ordered... as well as some different shocks... :) This thing better crawl better than my berg ;)

If thats the case you will have an extra million servos on Jan 11th.

flatirons Suck!!!!!!!!!
They do OK when you trim every second lug.

[j33pownr]

I was talking more about the chassis than wheels/tires, the wheels arent so bad but I will second the flat irons blowing.
