Also i have mesured my Wb from center of lug to center of lug which im pretty sure is the right way to do it full compressed if that is wrong please correct me on this.

love the panels. i'm still working on my side panels. right now they are kicking my butt!!

[2006Shelby]

Use a 2 liter bottle for side panels it flexes so nice

[2006Shelby]

Yeah i got it looking desent atm i had to take it all back off and completely rewire it because the new servo had to have a CCBEC and omg what a pain it is to shove all that wire under that top lol. I didnt let my paint dry long enuff i guess and some came off on my top brace bar but it will due till my lexon gets in at the LHS then i can redo the skins i plan on makeing a few set of them so i can have variaty lol.

You could try a MIP shaft for an AX-10, then swap the ends with the "long" Wraith versions. like this: MIP Drive Hub 5mm Long Wraith
MIP Drive Hub 5mm Long Wraith

Ok going to you all for opinions , I'm looking at getting my first alum custom wheels for my crawler i was wondering what you all find works best width and brand.

[flat6extreme]

looks good! lots of great ideas for when i pick one up lol.

[hoghead5150]

i have a couple vp wheels. they work good and look good. i like the ability to adjust the offset with different hubs. right now i have DHII'S on the front with 725 slw hubs, and slw v1's in the rear with slw 600 hubs. took a little dremel work on the slw hub to fit the weight slugs into the dh wheels, but it was about 10 minutes work and a perfect fit.

[2006Shelby]

I was thinking dhII and slw v4 rear myself

[hoghead5150]

well mine are 1 inch wide, and with 725 hubs front i'm right at 10 1/4 inch outside tire to outside tire, and with 600 hubs in rear i'm exactly the same width as the front.

[2006Shelby]

didnt know they made the dh II in 1 inch thought it was only 1.35

[hoghead5150]

they are adjustable. its like no rings .835 inch, 1 ring .960 inch, and 2 rings 1.035 inch. or close to that.

Little bit of a update on my rig.

I have dropped the losi comp shocks and went with big Bores with cap mod running 20 w oil in front with orange springs and rear is 40w with pink springs and omg they flex so much better. BTW cap mod easiest thing i have done so far other than take this thing out of the box lol.

Also added beef tubes around it and also installed some No slop lockers.

Also ended up with DH pro Comps with 835 hubs in front and Slw V4 1inch in the rear with 710 hubs Gives it a bit of a offset stance with the front a tad bit wider than the rear. Wrapped the wheels in Hb Blocks front and back Red dots and white dot mix.

Also added Axial lockouts on the rear fianlly.

Also went with a VP front 4 link plate and got rid of the el cheapo.

Having some delrin links made also in white to match the chassis not sure when they will be done tho.

Roberson Racing Tranny gears thru out the tranny now, and also Vp hi steer Zero ach knuckles.

I'll toss up some pics once i get it all put back together
