Finally tried the UHD mode for rims. Wow!!! All rims will be printed in UHD mode. I'm embarrassed of the previous images. :( Last edited by Fungi; 04-17-2013 at 08:14 PM. Reason: added two more images. |

| Re: Rims with an offset...
this might be getting a bit too detailed for such a small rim/tire. but is it at all possible to do a hub and then have the rim attach to that, rather than having a pin/hex mounted wheel?? or am i trying too hard.. lol and my other Q, is it possible to have a less offset rim too? to narrow the track width rather than widening it ? |

Holy shit! That's awesome man. I might just have to buy a set to match my 1:1 wheels. Of course I'll have to paint the outer ruins though. Still need to fix that 7th lug though.

| Re: Rims with an offset...
I'm not 100% sure I know what you are envisioning. Can you sketch something out? ;) The reduced offset is definitely possible. Yes UHD is Ultra HD. I use HD for the chassis because they are so tall. The geometry of the rims, short with a face that requires highest clarity, lends itself to UHD. There is one above UHD but It's crazy accurate and crazy slow making parts. Ok, ok so the lugs can be removed. hehe Due to design limitations the lugs don't clear the wheel nut when reduced to 5 r 6. I do want to make a thin laser cut part for the outer ring. It's coming together. |

| Re: Rims with an offset...
upon thinking about it, and going back to check out the body and how the stock losi rims fit, i think ill stick with the losi offset. maybe maximum +2mm on either side. also, the hub idea, way too finiky.. even if done well, the nuts n bolts to hold it all together would not take much to strip out i reckon... i was thinking about something along the lines of the RC4wd micro pressed steel beadlock. something like this >> |

Do you have a rough time frame of when you will be ready to start selling?

Thanks for the feedback... It's just one coat of Tamiya silver with an airbrush. My first time... I should have used some alcohol to thin the paint. I used water but it appears to be ok. Oh! Hope to be selling this fall. Klampy, why you gotta live in frickin' Australia man? lol >.< |

eh, surely it wouldnt be more than a small padded envelope? theyre sorta cheap, i know they are from my side. when i sent the AX10 chassis plates to the US in an envelope it only cost me $5-$10. wasnt terrible.
