they won't fit, we tried. you would have to get a whole front axle just to get them to work. then just lock the steering so the tires don't turn. thats the only way i think. or getting the drive axles for the front, and then getting the steering cups that might work, cause the axles are the same just the only difference is the rear lock outs.

We just left the front axles wider, and left the rear axles skinny just like they would on a competition truck. once he got his new rims with a wider offset, they worked perfect without the extensions

[Spiike]

this is what he bought, and he didn't need the extensions after mounting them

Dang it, I think I had just made myself pay little more money. Because it was
TSL Super Swampers- $30
Proline wheels- $17
NOt yet purchased spacers- $32
= $79
When I could have just bought tires and the wheels your bro in law bought.
In which were $40+$30= 70...

ok well hold off on buying spacers, wait to see what the wheels come out with, maybe there is enough offset you dont need the wideners

[Hydro-Tank]

I sure do hope so. That will be a money saver haha

Well I read that they give an .2" offset, not too sure what that is but im learning on the way

Ya, Thats kinda why I posted that one up on the poll. But I put some other ones in there just to get other peoples opinions. I just might go with that scheme. But Ill wait for the poll results and go over with what the winner vote would look like. I sure do hope I like these things, Mowed lots of lawns for this stuff Looks as though Tan and going back to maroon are tied.

[Spiike]

.2" is .2" off of where your tires sit right now. which is like 2-4mm
The other rim my brother in law bought didn't say how much offset there was.

However those integy extensions are 15mm

Video Time!


Video Description:
This is my first video in a long time. So dont make fun of it. It is a video of my mostly stock scx10 but it has a 55t integy motor and 1.9 rox lox. Rest is stock

It didnt work for me when I clicked play, so hopefully it will for you guys.

its all gone now. We burnt it all.

[Hydro-Tank]

Well the beedlocks and tires are almost here they should be tomorrow! I hope

[Hydro-Tank]

Ok so my photobucket thing was not working when these came, so Ive had these for awhile now. Here are the pictures of the new shoes and beedlocks.



They are monsters!!


Here is the first beedlock in the tire. It took like 20min turning all those screws! And it was the first one

After like an hour it was time for a break.. Yummy.

Finally all done.






Looks like im going to need the extensions and after running it one of the esc wires go into the big spur gear and got a rip in the wires

Sorry bout the slightly blury pictures.
