| No link for the wheels yet (hopefully they will be available at tcs and beckworks soon)... I just made this one (prototype) this evening. They bolt straight up on stock wk hexes. The grill is a battery mount. Doing it this way, you can set your batt right down on the axle putting the weight as low as possible. Last edited by billet works; 07-20-2007 at 11:11 PM. |

| WK's come with both 12 and 14mm hexes....a set of 14mm hexes would allow these to be run on TF axles and 2.2 clods with CVD's and metal hexes. 14 would be super pimp. the only axles they wouldn't fit on with 14mm hexes would be f350 and tlt but most will not use these wheels for those apps due to the narrow width of those axles and the backspacing on these wheels that makes them perfect for wider axles. |

| Very narrow, thanks to Warren! The rim measures 1" wide; the rings add an extra .2" total and seat flush. Last edited by billet works; 07-21-2007 at 01:29 AM. |

| Ohhh, loco as in crazy, not locomotive. I came in questioning why anybody would put train wheels on a crawler. I guess it would keep the CG low.... |
