Default VP SLW hubs offset question

OK so I have a bender swx chassis for my scorpion. Im running a bug body on it and I've got the vanquish method 1.9 wheels dressed out with some super swampers. I'm unsure of what offset I would need to purchase in order to make these wheels work. Any help guys?

Can't say I've seen the 1.9's used on that chassis all that often. However depending on the knuckles you have, a 350 hub would likely be a good start. I do also run a 475 on a lot of my 1.9 rigs with Axial axles as well.

The 225 can be a little narrow and cause issues with the front steering and knuckles quite often.

Thanks Harley. And I thought it would be a little different to run 1.9s and make it a little more difficult. Plus I think I'll be able to get more twist out of the suspension with the smaller wheel.

You could always drop all the guess work and buy a set of "Shift" hubs from Lattice innovations.. Contact BC-Brian..
The hub is 225 and comes with spacer's to make them adjustable, up to 850..
they come tapped for 4-40 just like VP hubs but also have 6x 2.5mm holes ready for a 3mm tap to be ran thru..
They are the most versatile option out! Not to mention, you can get them custom anodized to whatever color you would like and will match ur wheels or your rig.. :thumbsup:
