Thanks. What tires have you used that do not rub with the Yeti SCORE SLW wheels? | |

However...instead of the Pro-Line BFG KO2 tires, I'm going with the Pro-Line BFG Baja T/A KR2, which are more accurate to a TT race truck (in the 2015 Baja 1000, the top 11 trucks were all running this tire). Right now, I'm just awaiting the painter to finish the custom job on the Raptor body. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | |

I've run the yeti wheels with the stock BR tires, the taller/narrower Axial BFG KR2's, the wider RC4WD Baja Claws, and a pair (rear only) of Panther paddles. Fit is definitely tight when going taller or wider, but close enough to only need the slightest trim at the back of the front fender. I put details/pics somewhere in this thread.

Is SLW a generic term and what does it stand for? Anyone have a link to the .185 SLW hubs?

That being said, I do plan on a "visual inspection" before gluing the tires to the wheels...and, if I really dislike the look, I have 2 other tires in mind. However, before that takes place, I have to finish customizing the wheels - I'm trying to make them look as close to the Method 105 wheels they're based on (yup, that involves painting them...lol). ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | ||

SLW= super light weight It's was originally coined by Vanquish Products, but is now largely a generic term for removeable 6 bolt hubs of the same bolt pattern. Vanquish makes hubs down to .225" that use 4-40 machine screws, LockedUpRC makes .185" with 4-40 or 3mm thread, SSD makes a "zero offset" that is only slightly bigger than a .185" and uses 2.5mm thread (they make them with built in rotors too!) You can get as small as a .225"(ish) from Chinese manufacturers that also use 3mm thread. As much as I like the SSD's, the heads of the 2.5mm screws are prone to pulling through plastic wheels like the Yeti SCORE's. On that same note, I still think it's ridiculous to put 4-40 hardware on a car that is otherwise 100% metric... but I ended up with VP hubs anyway. All that said, get 3mm threaded .185"s here while you can: https://www.lockeduprc.com/SLW-Hex-H...LEM_p_941.html |

Post pics of your truck with the shortcourse tires on it. I have put them on mine before and they looked small to me.

Thanks for the great info. So the Yeti Score wheels with .185" hubs pull the wheels in more than the factory wheels? | |

I have the exploded diagrams for the BR but they are not 100% complete. Having stripped down my car for an overhaul a few months ago I found myself putting it back together last night and realised there are quite a lot of similar but different screws that are not part of the exploded diagram in my manual. Is there a full breakdown out there? |

Did you check the manual here? Losi: Support: Customer, Product, Website. It seems pretty complete, but I don't doubt that there might be some things missing, though. The ring gear in the rear axle is not even shown! | |

Thanks again. I bought those 0.185" hubs and some Yeti Score wheels. That setup has 0.082" more backspacing than the factory Raptor wheels. I need to take more detailed measurements of the wheel widths, but preliminary measurements show that the factory Raptor wheels are roughly 0.025" wider than the Scores. So, you were right, the new setup should pull the wheels/tires in a little bit more than the factory wheels. | |

Right now, I'm in Vegas. I brought the BR with me...but, I also brought 4 of my boats. The person custom-painting the new BR Raptor body is also in Vegas, and should have the body finished before I leave. If so, in addition to posting photos in my build threads, I'll post at least one in here. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | |

Do you guys use serrated nuts on aluminum hubs or is that not recommended?
