Will these rims work ?

I dont think the inner diameter of the SLW is big enough.

Sorry, I dont know anything about BM's setup with the MIP's.

Is the bolt pattern on the hub the same as the stock Yeti wheel? Also do you offer the hub in a wider thickness

[Erik D_lux]

The bolt pattern is the same as a VP SLW hub.

I supply the 0 offset hubs which give two different widths.

0 offset Bully/Ofna hubs

If you want to go wider, thats pretty easy too. You can either do a simple hub spacer

You could do a Delrin hub that I sell, however this has never been tested on go fast cars so I am not positive how well they would hold up....

Or, you could run a 12mm hex and then have the option to run whatever size SLW hub you want. This would make you pretty wide though.

Thx Eric look for my order very soon!

I was going to put a thread together (pic heavy) with a basic guide on the ofna setup. Not really a step by step but help guide to show what items individuals will be running into setting this up on there rig. Also I was going to dedicate the 2nd post to a list of wheels that fit and dont't. Should I just add it to this thread? Or I can just shoot a link on this thread to the "guide"

Thanks, I love my ofna setup so far!

Erick I orderd the kit from you this evening..is there anyway I can get a 6mm vertion of the spool that bolts right in?..I break stuff! Lol...also got some of those hexes for the ofna shafts ..what holds the wheels on should I need to go that route?

[Erik D_lux]

Thanks for the order!

Yeah, I would be happy to do the 6mm stuff. Only thing I am un sure of is that I need the 6mm lockers from Blue Monkey (I actually need 5mm lockers too). His website says nothing will ship until the 2nd of March so it will be at least 2 weeks out, maybe more depending on if he has any.

There wont be a charge for the bigger 6mm locker or drive cups but I will have to ream out a ring gear so there will be a small charge for that.

Let me know what you want to do on your order. I have the last 5mm locker sitting here for you so it would be good to either ship yours or pass it on to somebody else who is waiting for this setup.

For the hexes, you will want to run a 4mm set screw, bottom it out on the hex pin to hold it in and then run a lock nut on top of that. It will work exactly like a typical Axial setup at that point with a nut holding everything on.

I will take the 5mm stuff and order the 6mm at a later date..thanks man!!

[Erik D_lux]

Thanks Dan! I got the 5mm stuff shipped out today for you. BTW, your PM box is full.

lol there's space now Eric..Thx man!

Hey Erik..the hubs I received in my kit do not have the slug holes for weight ...Will the wheel weight rings bolt on to the hubs you sent? I need more weight for crawling.

[Erik D_lux]

Yep, you can bolt the brass rings right on.

In the future, if anybody wants the version with the slug holes, I can make them, but its not common for people to want weight so I dont offer them on my site.

[ninja turtle]

What's the weight difference between the aluminum knuckle with the slug holes and without?

[Erik D_lux]

Looks like 6g per knuckle.

Thanks. How much do you think you could take out without making the knuckle weaker? I want the strength of the aluminum but as light as possible. I'm thinking about drilling my aluminum yeti set out like my comp crawler set, only a little bit bigger holes.

[rockslyder]

Are you getting more throw with the ofna setup?

Looks awsome and strong

I dont know, maybe a couple more grams? I dont know if its worth the risk really.

No, not more throw. As much as stock. The bulk head and other things limit the steering too much. If you can figure that out, then you could get more throw as the shafts have a TON more to give.

Erik I if you can find the time I would love a one pics unit to replace the servo saver ..the range on the bottom hit the center posts limiting steering.. about to put a few pics up on my build thread of your kit😍
