Got some things done yesterday. Finally got my Upper Hafty's mounted (was waiting on hubs). They look awesome! I was able to mount them no problem to the Hyrax's, however, it made the tire bulge around the ring and left a gap between tire and ring. Bothered me, so I mounted them to the BFG KO2's. I'm getting a great deal on a set of Rock Beast XL's, so the Hyrax's will be up for sale. If anyone wants them, shoot me a PM. This picture makes it look high in the front, it's just how it was sitting on the couch. Still haven't had a chance to paint and apply the freqeskinz. |

SSD rear bumper came in. RPP is the shit! Love ordering from them. Ordered at 6:30 EST (3:30 in CA) on Monday, they got the order shipped that day, and it managed to get here in 2 days (CA to MI). I don't know how they manage to get it to me so quick. I get slower shipping from states that are way closer! Anyway... second picture doesn't do it justice since my body is trimmed like shit. I need to clean it up and it would sit nice. Really happy with it! It sits high and tight which is nice. I need to trim the rear quarters cause it looks kinda weird right now. I'm thinking of a 'cut n fold' look. Open to ideas though. |

| Re: Project: Well Rounded (Fitz's SCX10.2 XJ) Thanks! It's brand spankin new from SSD. I caught it on RPP's new item section about a month ago, and had them email me when they had stock. Second that email came through, I placed the order. Which ones do you recommend? I want to get scale "acorn" hub hardware, but I want black and I've only found stainless. I like the contrast with the outer ring being black. Considering I have scale hardware on the rings, I want it all to be scale. I like the black I have, but they look kinda big with the other scale hardware. |

The SSD ones work well for the front, their hub tool lets you get enough torque on them, and they use a nylock nut inside. Rear axle is a different story. Only thing I've found that doesn't eventually work free is a cut down Axial hub covering a stock nut. The RC4WD rears have normal nut that comes loose, and the tool strips the little ears off. GCM has machined threads, but once again they come loose after a while. Perhaps with loctite they would work better, but I take my wheels and tires off too frequently.

Ahhh, right right. Yeah, I don't understand why the RC4WD ones don't use a nylock nut. Wonder if you could remove theirs and install one?

So I did end up ordering stainless scale acorn style hardware for the hubs. As much as I like the black on there, they just look too big with the scale hardware on the rings. If I'm really not a fan of the stainless, I'll just paint them best I can once they're mounted. Updates with pictures to come... |
