We are thrilled to bring these to the table ... new nut replacement scale "Pro" hubs!

The main change in these hubs are the addition of a pressed in nyloc style nut. This enables you to tighten the hubs down without fear of a hub backing off.

Shorter than our cover style, these will also look even better.

The reason we call these "pro" is because they will/may require you to trim your stub shaft for proper fitment.

That's our latest wheel, the Rock Cutter 8L, with our latest beadlock ring, the Orb, and they are definitely going on one of my builds!

Along with the National Champion ECD Ringer chassis, I will soon be releasing my new 3-piece G10 wheel.

G10 is a material that is similar to Carbon fiber in that its a layered, resin bonded material. It uses a woven glass instead of carbon fibers. This material is very similar to Carbon Fiber in its stiffness or rigidity, yet doesn't seem as brittle or prone to cracking. It is available in a variety of colors (which can be special ordered for a small additional fee...and possibly longer wait). I will be stocking the black, blue, and green.

I will be offering these wheels as a .95inch wide as standard. That is measured from inside of bead to inside of bead, although custom offsets will be available by request.

Price for the 2.2 wheels will be $45 per pair of wheels plus $7 shipping per order (for orders within the United States), which will include everything shown below, including the screws necessary to attach SLW hubs. (due to the precise machining, the hubs fit very tight and may require a bit of filing or sanding to fit).

Other designs and sizes will also be made available.

We got the go ahead from VP to release a narrower offset SLW style wheel hub for our LURC wheels. So it is with great pleasure I announce our .185 SLW compatible wheel hubs.

With these hubs your Locked Up RC SLW compatible wheels will sit in ~1mm compared to .225 hubs, making them the exact same offset as our 8L wheels. Perfect for those trying to squeeze their rig through tech!

DDT LOSI MICRO CRAWLER TRUE BEAD LOCK RIMS (set of 4 rims and 8 washer weights): $25 SHIPPED
(INSIDE THE USA ONLY. FOR INTERNATIONAL PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR SHIPPING COSTS FIRST)

PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE (PM) FOR AVAILABILITY AND PAYMENT TERMS. Feal free to post questions or coments here about the rims.

MODEL SCT2 = FOR USE WITH STOCK SIZE LOSI TIRES (Boggers, Mickey T Claws, Roc-lox, etc)
MODEL MCT2 = FOR USE WITH MICLAW TIRES

(Please specify white or black rims AND air hole/no air hole)

Also, please make sure to read the notes at the bottom of this post. These are not complete tire sets and require the use of your old hardware. Also some modifications are needed to the stock Losi bead rings if used.


These are completely hand cut and drilled on a mini lathe. They are available in Black or White Delrin.

These rims add width and weight and also provide a rim that the tires never needs glued. Thats right...it's a true bead lock rim! The fit is so tight that the tire will actually hold some air. Some may like this idea and some will not. Thus I drill an air hole in every rim unless otherwise asked not to. For now I am only making these 2 rims but others are in the making including a super skinny rim!


All rims are made with a single pin cut drive instead of a hex drive...unfortunately this does make the rims so that they do not work with other wideners.

Here are the washers that fit inside the rim. They are a tight fit and do not slide out on thier own.

Attachment 236108 Attachment 236109

Notes on weights:
- Stock Losi rim/tire = .4oz or 12g
- SLT2 rim with Bogger and NO washers = .6oz or 19g
- SLT2 rim with Bogger and 2 washers = 1.5oz or 43g

- MCT2 rim with Miclaw and NO washers = .9oz or 26g
- MCT2 rim with Miclaw and 2 washers = 1.7oz or 49g


The top axle is a Stock Losi Trekker with stock rims and hexes. Compare it to the bottom axle with the new SCT2 rims.

Here are some examples of rims and bead lock rings. As you may see I can make them in white too!

Attachment 236114

SPECIAL NOTES: You will need to re-use or provide you own:
- Bead lock rings (Losi stock ones, Dirtmodeler rings, Fungi rings, HR rings, etc)
- Stock Losi bead screws (12 per tire)
- longer lug wrench (or modify the stock lug wrench as shown below)

Also, I drill an air hole in every rim for air releif unless otherwise asked for.

Lastly, I want to remind everyone that working on Micro crawlers is HARD!!! And these are no different. It takes patience to make them go together. I have found some tricks that help assemble them and will include an instruction sheet with each order.
