Default Adjustable Weight Wheels

Does any company offer 1.9 adjustable weight wheels that can be used on the Losi MRC? If so please list the companies and give a short review and post photos if you have the wheels!

I love the Vanquish Revolvers and wish they'd offer them in 1.9, but I haven't been able to get ahold of them.

The only ones I've found are the Losi ones, which should now be shipping. I believe they are either +1oz per wheel (standard), or +2oz per wheel with the extra weight set.

Yes, the wheels and weights are made for each other. They are the only "1.9 adjustable weight wheels" I know of. I suppose if you had wheels of the same inner diameter as the Losi's, so that the curve of the weights matched up, you could make the weights work for you though.

I got the Eritex 1.9 comp heavys, I think I am gonna try to make some weights to fit the outside of the rim, inside of the beadlock ring, should be able to add at least 1/2 oz per rim.

Airsoft BB's are quick to adjust if you have a scale. That's what I'm running currently in my Out Croppers on stock wheels, works great. Transmission doesn't dig them too much (click...click...click) but it does crawl much better and makes the droop setup work better.

Does that mean there are some 1.9 Revolvers/Six Shooters in the works? Any hints on when they might be available?

six shooters for the MRC would be a good bet.

Vanquish replied to me very quickly after all.

"Our 1.9 Revolver ProComp are not for sale yet as they are still being made. We do have regular SC series which are all 1.9's that fit the MRC".

Personally, I will hang tight for the ProComp's but he did not say how long the wait would be.

I thought we were pretty easy to get a hold of.
