I can't remember but are they knockoff vp wheels? Cus you can buy the knockoff slw hubs as well. They come in 2 sizes. The wheels i bought and the set of slw hubs i also bought are different sizes.

One more little update. While at the Ohio comp I tore one of the Futaba decals on the side of my Deadbolt. Luckily Stickers by Jake hooked me up with these killer Poison Spyder decals!! | |

| Re: Start of a new Deadbolt project. Lets call it Project: Cheapbolt Will keep you updated I hoped to have had them in today. I got the axle out of the truck but got busy with the kiddo, she wanted to go run short course trucks and who am I to argue. Hopefully get to them in the next day or two.

Why did you take the axle out? You just need to remove the 4 screws holding the c hubs on and the screw holding the steering rods on.

| Re: Start of a new Deadbolt project. Lets call it Project: Cheapbolt I want to pack the shaft area with grease, just makes it a little easier for me this way. Also since I have to file them to fit the F1 spools would just rather do it this way, just a preference thing really.

Nice. I installed my Msmba Micro Pro and set the drag brake to max which was only 40% and it didn't do much at all. Bought castle link and updated the firmware on the mircro pro then i was able to set drag brake at 100%. Paired it with a 920kv outrunner brushless from a quad.

Gotta say I love these LURC CVDs. They are beefy and the extra steering is nice. There are a couple little things though that I think you should be aware of. Here they are going in. I am running the Locked Up F1 spools so you have to file the CVDs to fit. You have to this with any axle shaft and this locker. It makes for a nice tight fit. (The cases were packed with marine grease before finial assembly) Here is one of the things you should be aware of. The joint is large and could cause a problem with some c-hubs. With these Locked Up c-hubs there is clearance but it is tight enough that a piece of paper will not fit between the cvd and the c-hub. On some you may have to clearance the c-hub a bit. The other thing is that your stock hex may not slide up over the wheel stub. Due to the size of the neck you may need to slightly enlarge the hole in the face of it a little bit. My stock SCX hexes and the after markets I run both need this. Another set of aftermarkets I have needed no work due to a larger center hole. Still though I highly recommend these pieces. They are beefy and should take what ever I throw at them. Plus more steering is a good thing. Stay tuned for more. -Prime- Video added on 6-14-16 Last edited by Prime; 06-14-2016 at 08:01 PM. |

Well.... it looks like the Deadbolt is getting a make-over. I have had the stock body on the truck for over a year now and it is starting to show it's age. Plus I am getting tired of it looking like all the other Deadbolts out there lol. While at the beach last week I picked up this Proline F650 body. I had been wanting to stretch the wheel base and this body gives me the perfect excuse to do so. It has a 14" wheelbase so going to make new rear links. Going to run a modified JK rear bumper and have a Dingo bumper ordered up for the front. Here it is trimmed out, gotta figure out mounting first, then will stretch the wheelbase. Stay tuned, more to come!! -Prime- |

Thank you for the complements, this is by far my favorite truck I have ever had. Also loving how the body is looking. I mean I love the stock Deadbolt body but felt I kinda blended in, plus wanted something different and to give a longer wheelbase as try. Hopefully get some pics up tomorrow with the new wheelbase and the rear bumper mounted up. | |
