Wow, really?!! I'm running the same hubs and i think it's wiiiiiide! I just had them on my losi so i used them until i decided what to use.

I will say that with this width i have some serious steering throw since the wheels don't hit the springs or anything at full lock!

[dude26]

yes it seems wide, but w/ Dlux wheels you need 1/4" more length on hub

so w/ Dlux wheel, running 0.725/0.850 it's the same than running 0.475/0.600 w/ SLW wheel

From your pics it looks like you drilled your holes for the brass inserts all the way through your case, did you? I can see where it looks like they may interfere with your spool's side bearings, just curious because when i found this mod in harleys xr10 guide there wanst much as far as directions. I just did my axles but only let the bit go to the previous depth. Waiting on VP upper links to assemble extra housings I had bought so not sure how mine turned out just yet!!

there's two holes that I drilled all way.

but if you mount your insert carefully it doesn't interfere w/ the bearing
I made the same w/ the previous case and it work nice

[dude26]

I just got my new rear shaft !!! no more play !!!

thanks Egressor, you make a ****in' great job !!!

[dude26]

Ready to go !!!

Looking good!

Where did you get those brass inserts from? Is there a source in Europe?

[dude26]

Thanks

I take my inserts from here:

M3 BRASS INSERTS - PUSH IN INSERT FOR PLASTIC QTY: 25 | eBay

but maybe find a source here in France...
