|  RC4WD steel wheels for MRC?
Hey guys, about to order wheels for my Mog build and need a little help. I'm looking at the 6 lug 1.9 steelies and the 1.9 Pro10 steelies. Both come with a pin drive hub, as opposed to a hex. Will this pin drive fit my Losi axles, or do I have to order the seperate 12mm hex type hubs? Sent from my SCH-I535 |

The Losi 1.9 uses a smaller diameter pin than regular trucks. The pin drive will fit but may be a little loose (the pin in the hex) . |

I'm bout to get some Axial 1.9s, fill em with lead, and mount up my tires. LHS has them for $20/pair. $25 less than all the RC4WD crap, and they serve the same purpose. Sent from my SCH-I535 |

realized i put my post in the wrong thread but now for relivant! Look at gmade's line of 1.9 bead locks Gmade 1.9 SR03 Beadlock Wheels x2 - Uncoated Steel 1.9" VR01 Beadlocks (2) (Black) they have 12mm hex instead of pin drive If you go with a rc4wd 5 lug they come with a pin drive adaptor but for around 12 bucks you can get the wheel hex adapter for a set of 4 5 Lug Wagon 1.9 Steel Stamped Beadlock Wheels (White) 1.9" 5 Lug Steel Wheel Hex Hub Last edited by T_Tank; 11-15-2013 at 09:55 AM. |

What tires are you going to run? Tha Gmade wheels don't hold some tires very well. I had issues with pitbulls and trepadors. Both of which shouldn't be on an MRC. Mud pluggers and flashpoints were fine.

I went with the 1.9 Axial 8 hole beadlocks and 1.9 Mud Slingers after all. The finished price for the RC4WD wheels with hardware was too high, and the G-made wheels felt cheap amd flimsy to me. Right now I'm running 2.5 oz in each wheel, and sealed beads. I could have used my Pro wheels, but these are going on my scale Mog build. The Pro wheels look like crap, the beads don't hold, and the breather holes let my foams fill with mud. Sent from my SCH-I535 |

Those 1.9 MS are REALLY small for a 1.9 tire, i didn't see that until i put them on, i was bummed ;) But once you cut every small lug inbetween the larger ones, they look mean as hell! |

In MRC world, they aren't thay small a tire. They're actually a little big for the Mog I'm putting together, and they measure out to a scale 56". Realistically, I should have ran a 1.55. As low as I intend to keep this thing, I'm already going to have some fenders to trim. I just picked up materials for the chassis today, the body is on it's way (two actually), and my comp rigs running gear are laid out and ready to go. Build thread coming soon. Sent from my SCH-I535 |
