That design is a little over my head. So I asked my buddy to take a look at it. I'll be in touch.

Removeable rings (which the 1:1's have) would be a nice added touch.

klampykixx · 03-01-2013, 03:02 PM

no worries about the non metal, was just dreaming lol...

here is the rims Id LOVE for you to recreate for my jeep in the stock Losi offset.

SHERGERNETIC · 03-02-2013, 08:25 AM

So where do I place my order
And that 3d printer is tight I was thinking of buying me one

could just drill a flat face to accept the stock losi ring maybe?

Fungi · 03-03-2013, 09:06 PM

Here's a stab at it...

Real

1/24th scale

The nuts are out a little too far, but any closer and they will get hit by the tool used to tighten the wheel onto the axle. They can be left off of course. It's pretty close I think.

My buddy gave me this design. It's not exact, but we will work on it.

What do you think?

Would be cool to have the rim edge photoetched by dirtmodeler!

PS, Got my work bench tops in and are putting together the benches.

lilws6 · 03-03-2013, 09:19 PM

Now thats cool i would def. Buy a set of these! Can i get them in the dyable form i like to dye my own wheels.

klampykixx · 03-03-2013, 09:25 PM

yep i would definately pay the $40 you said for a set of those Jeep rims!

klampykixx · 03-03-2013, 09:27 PM

so i presume this will probably start as custom orders? or will you make a batch, and then sell them off?

Sh0rtBus · 03-04-2013, 05:36 AM

That's pretty good, man! One too many lug nuts though.

jprock · 03-04-2013, 08:44 AM

Those jeep wheels look spot on I used to have those on my jeep when I bought them. Now if someone just made an xj model that would be epic

klampykixx · 03-04-2013, 02:39 PM

this is my jeep that the rims are destined for. 1/18 WJ cherokar

edit:

and at this point, i dont think i need any wider than stock offset.

Fungi · 03-04-2013, 06:59 PM

I agree, stock offset looks fine. These rims would be perfect on that rig! It won't be much longer.

In no particular order.

Yes, I can sell them ready to dye.

Almost all will be custom the first time. ;) But I can print it as many times as I need.

Yeah the 7 lugs was funny, we have the second version shaping up. It looks much more like the original.

Fun!

lilws6 · 03-05-2013, 05:48 AM

7 lugs for them ford guys

they need more wheel options

klampykixx · 03-05-2013, 06:01 AM

how hard would it be to print out an xj body in 1/18 scale?

Fungi · 03-05-2013, 06:23 AM

The printer can do it, but the cost would be outrageous. Best bet is to make molds for sides, top, hood, etc. Old school styrene vacuum molded parts to assemble a body. I would like to give that a go.

I would be interested in that! A 1/20-1/24 scale xj molded in lexan then I could make an rc version of mine

klampykixx · 03-05-2013, 02:28 PM

it was worth a try lol if you dont ask, you dont know.

klampykixx · 03-06-2013, 04:45 AM

I just took the time to read through both your Spectre and Tuber threads. i must say wow. i didnt realise you had gone to the extent you have. Definately firstly congrats, and secondly Thankyou!

3d printing is definitely the future.

so before i order my rims. ( i know i cant order yet ) could i see the render you put up before, but have the spokes curve right out flush with the outer rim? so not dished please? and also will you be making the bead diameter slightly larger than the stock rims so the tires seat properly?? the RC4wd tires i have just dont quite sit tight on the stock rims. and id be looking for pin mount too.

edit: nut spacing is good too

thanks

IAJTYWU · 03-06-2013, 10:43 PM

Ready to sell some of these yet? I went looking for a set of wheels tonight and found that there's not may out there. I'd be happy to test them out. :-)
