simplest dually conversion

[wsmb]

I wanted to take all my stock wheels and tires and make a rear dually set up with them and mount some pitbull rockbeast up front. what is the easiest way to do this? I have no idea how to fabricate anything so kits or parts needed would help me out the most. thanks

no one?

I forget where but I did see someone cut down the axial axels and use losi 1/18 driveshaft's which are shorter, you end up with more realistic looking dually.

Easy,Axial 8 hole beadlocks x 4 ,8 nut and bolts to fit on the holes,bolt them together. Take 4 nuts and bolts and bolt two wheels together then do two wheels for the other side. Works real nice.

thank you. I'm horrible at building things but if I can't find a simpler way I guess I might have to give it a shot

1 inch threaded spacer to hold on your inside wheel. Place outside wheel on the spacers. Screw in outside wheel to the threaded spacer.

I did it a little different:

Loco 57

For the wheels I just cut Delrin spacers to go between the wheels. I actually drilled the 6-bolt pattern thru the spacers and used 2-56 all thread to bolt the two wheels and inner hub together. Then I used some hex stand-offs from McMaster-Carr similar to what is done in the video:

McMaster-Carr

These thread onto the axle stubs at the hub to attach the wheels and give you a second 4mm stub at the proper position for positioning the scale hubs in relation to the outer wheel.



I actually combined a couple of the stand-offs to get the correct length and brazed them together so they would not spin off. I can take some pix tonite if you are interested.
