| Custom Wheel weights
Well, ripoffs is more like it. Found the dimesnions of the slug weights and asked my dad to make me a set. He works for a large Aerospace factory. Picked up these yesterday. SPACE Grade! .600 x .780. fit like a glove. A tight glove! As of now, going to run without the keepers as the fit is tight and stayed put with a few stress tests. I havent had a chance to weigh them but they are heavy. He's making me some more today out of standard steel. I guess the Space Grade is a lot harder to machine. I posted in the XR forum but no one seemed to pay mind. Wraith guys are a lot more do-it-yourself so I figured you'd appreciate. I'm running the stock internal weights as well. Heavy fron end! |

Nice job, I'm thinking about getting a set of XR10 wheels for my wraith.

I tried out my wife's XRwheels (wheighted) with Panther tires right after she got it. Literally doubled my abilities on the rocks!
