SSD versus Vanquish SLW hubs

[Thloftus]

Does anyone know which Vanquish hub is the closest match to the stock hub on SSD stamped steel 2.2 beadlocks? I need to increase the offset on my front wheels, but don't know which Vanquish hubs to buy -- they only seem to list the width increments, but not the actual dimensions. Can figure out what to do of I know where I'm starting since I know how much the offsetneeds to change.

Try the smallest, that's what I used and it seems like a close match theyre the 225 i believe , why do you need to widen it Btw?

Thank you. Would be great if they all published mechanical drawings, but obvious why they don't. I have a SCX10 G6 with the Vanquish stage 1 kit. Wider hexes for the front axle worked with the stock tires, but now I put on 2.2 RC4WD mudslingers, which are wider -- so the conflict between the tires and the steering knuckles is back, mostly with the drag link rod end. I tried adding spacers between the hex and the hubs. Almost works, but the overlap between the hexes and the hub is getting pretty small. So wider hubs seemed like a better fix.

Really impressed by the SSD wheels, btw. Look awesome, super easy to mount, and they seem to grip the tire really well. Also a great price. Mudslingers also sweet on the SCX10 and they're roughly the same od as stock tires, so they fit without using a lift kit.

I think they are closer to .350.

[Thloftus]

Thanks. So safe bet is to start with the .350 dimensions and add the extra.

By eye, its seems like then SSD hubs are probably between 250 and 300. The SLWs are in 1/8" increments IIRC. So if you need to go wider, Id start at 350 and go from there.

Nice. Thank you

Buy a set of Shift hubs. You can customize your width with them and they fit SLW wheels. They are sold by a vendor here.
