| SSD Wheels and Rear Axle
I really like the DHole wheels in black for my Wraith but just realised the outter bead lock and inner ring are plastic. Not sure if this is a problem but I’m now thinking getting vanquish wheels for the extra $20 might be a better option? Wanted to grab the d60 centred rear pumpkin axle housing (and matching front diff cover) but have a couple of questions: It can take a larger pinion input bearing but doesn’t stipulate the size - I’ve looked for specs and came up empty handed? Is there anything else you need to consider when putting in this axle? Some say you have to flip the front axle and change the direction of rotation? I’m running sensored brushless if that matters? Any help would be appreciated. |

I don't know if this will help you out or not but I have the 1.9 version of these and they are really nice, all aluminum, stainless hardware, go together nice, just a thought. I do believe these come in black also. https://www.amazon.com/RC-Hub-Beadlo...k+wheels&psc=1 |

From the product page: Features: Standard 1.9" wheel size Standard 12mm hex mount Internal beadlock system Removable hub Stamped steel wheel with zinc plated finish CNC machined aluminum hub and rings Specially made scale steel hex head bolts with yellow zinc plating Bearing size for the D60 axle was also on the product page 2 * 5 x 13 x 4mm bearings The Yeti needs the front diff flipped with this axle, I'm guessing you dont need to do anything for the Wraith.

When we made the 2.2 D holes I decided to use delrin for the inner and front rings to save weight and prevent scratches on the front. The inner ring also locks into the wheel so it can't spin. All SSD 2.2 wheels use this system. It's not something to worry about, they are very durable and reliable. And BTW the price difference is more than $20 when you take into account the hubs. It's more like $58 difference. All SSD wheels come with aluminum hubs. Last edited by SSD; 11-19-2018 at 03:15 PM. |

Secondly those bearing specs you provided come with the axle and are for the drive shafts! Not the Pinion Input Bearing, which was the original question. So if anyone knows the spec of the pinion input bearing that would be grand. I just want to order everything so I am not missing pieces when I sit down to assemble. | |

I really need to know about the input bearing for the d60 axle. Your description says it “can take a larger bearing” which I am assuming is the outter diameter? Do you know what bearing I need to order for the wraith assuming the one from the standard axles don’t fit in the D60? | |

The specs you were given is correct, that is why I didn't repeat it. The pinion bearing in our HD D60 and Diamond axles is 13mm and they are included in the product: 2 * 5 x 13 x 4mm bearings Usually when we include bearings or screws in a product it is because they are different to the stock part being replaced. | |

Thanks. I got confirmation after reading the instruction PDF - had assumed they were drive shaft bearings.

As far as the Derlin rings, if you're dead set on aluminum instead, I have found that many aluminum rings are interchangeable between wheel sets. So, if you have a set laying around there's a good chance you could use them on the SSD D-Hole wheels that you like.

Thanks bud. Ended up with Vanquish KMC machetes instead. Its a principle thing if you spend that on RC wheels. Delrin inner ring and beadlock is too much plastic for my liking. $10 more per pair for Vanquish all day.
