So it seems your building. Any pics to show what your describing. I would imagine that others have had the same situation. So a fix for this most likely has been developed or the wheel offset is the wrong type for this truck??

Yes please post a pic for us. There's a lot of experience in here and I'm sure the problem has been resolved before.

On the Lipos, HH carries some very nice affordable 3S 2200mah paks. Also look into Turnigy paks. Very cheap and they have a US warehouse so you don't have to wait a month for them to come over on the slow boat. Hobby Partz.com also has great prices on Gens Ace and other lipos. They aren't as expensive as they used to be. And chargers are very reasonable too.

pics!!











Ideas would be great. I think I want to do some bending of the link but I dont think it will solve the rubbing problem. I think I need some long wheel adapters

thanks

I havent really been building much. mostly just looking and tryin to figure how stuff will be put together so it works right will take a beating without breaking.

for your links, looks like the easiest thing to do would bring them in on the chassis or axle. some wider hexs like you where saying looks about the thing to do. narrowing the wheels would be my next step or some crazy looking tie rod that has alot of bends in it.

If it was me, I'd try boiling a wheel to get the bead off to narrow the wheels.

I guess wheel widner adapters would be easier.

I would just hate to ruin my new tires. I would rather narrow them, I think wide adapters look weird...lol

maybe I will get one boiling and see what happens..

thanks

I've done it once. It was on a set of wheels that had the shit glued out of them and were a few years old. Boiling made about 75% of the beads come off easy. I think yours will come off easy being new and not over glued. I'd still try just one first. The worst it'll probably do is wet the foam. Venture at your own risk...

Boil on one side a few minutes and test the glue. If it hasn't hardened, and de-bonded boil a little more. Then flip it over and do the other side. We boild parts in the racing world to make them a little more flexible. It won't hurt anything. Like Cordwood said, it will get your foams wet. Or like Reflection said. Get a sharp x-acto knife and carefully cut the tire off the wheel. Either way pay attention and be carefull

Oh and get rid of those huge tie rods. I've used 1/4 aluminum for years with no problems. It will give you a LOT more room for everything.

OK.....

Now I see what part of your steering problem is

Cut off those Link mount tabs off the hub carrier !!



This is keeping you from getting more steering

Look at my "Twin Freak" axles closely..........

After cutting off that tab and using CVD's I have tons of steering
even with that 1/2" delrin Tie Rod
Also try moving your tie rod link to the bottom of the steering knuckle



Regards Rick

Hey all

I just got back home. I dont think I want to cut anything yet. Im going to boil a tire tomorrow night and see what happens. I kinda want to leave the link mount on there until I figue out what I want to use for weight up front. I may need to order some more stuff lol. I got some nice stuff in the mail sat. but wasnt here to see them until now. Thanks Rick. Im gettin a little closer to a roller, just need my shock mounts to get here.

thanks for all the great input

Nice vid.. I boilded a tire up today and it was still to chewy.. It must have alot of glue or something because I had no luck. Tires are still mounted and if I push/pull on them the sidewall look like it ripping. Going to try a razor knife once tire cool but I dont like this idea. I will see what I can do. Searching and reading lots about tire removal. Has anyone tryed finger polish remover or soaked there tire in goof off or something.. SEARCHING..lol

CA does make a deactivator for their super glues. it works well when you glue your fingers together. but with a big joint like a tire it would take some time to get it into the joint and make it start working.

Read more about the boiling.. It seems that the tires with more glue need to stay boiling alot longer. Some boiled for over an hour.. back to boiling..lol

thanks

Don't soak the tire in polish remover. It could damage the wheel and or the tire. Keep boiling Baking on an old cookie sheet works too. I never tried it but you gotta watch the tires and make sure they don't melt.

Yeah, stay away from the chemicals. I'd boil some more.

Found this in Harleys Wraith guide

< Place 2 tires on cookie sheet covered with tinfoil.
Preheat oven to 325
Bake tires for 30 minutes.
Remove tires from oven, leave on cookie sheet.
With oven mitts or protection of some sort, break the tires off the bead on the side facing up.
Flip the tires over and place back in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and finish removing the tires from the wheels.
EASY! Please be careful! I had some water in my tires and the steam that was coming out could have been pretty dangerous.>>

move farther away and zoom in for your pictures (use macro mode if your camera has it), they are terrible
