| 2.2 bully axles
I am currently building a custom 1/10 crawler with bully axles and I am new at the hobby still. I am looking for ideas on what wheels I can use for these axles. Any help would be appreciated. |

Any wheel with a 12mm hex should fit the bill. |

I'm using the proline eight shooters with rc4wd hub extenders on the front and just the eight shooters on the rear. They are cheap and narrow. Not real excited about the small short screws that come with them for the bead locks. Looks like they will strip easy. They are the axial offset. The extenders get the tires away from the shocks and links. Also adds some stability.

| Hey Jeremy, this is my buddy i've been trying to get to bring his ax to the comps with me. I'm helping him build a 2.2 moa comp crawler. I want to go a little narrower than usual on the wheels for his truck. Gonna use PD rovers but was wondering if you had any suggestions on a slightly narrowed wheel other than VP?

Jason, when I ran my Bully, I stuck with wheels that were in the Axial (ax10) offset and somewhere around 1" in width. The bully axles are a bit narrower than bergs and can handle some offset. Personally, I like the Wheel Works wheels...the new models can be had with several different widths...and the VP hubs should fit them nicely. If you are looking for something fairly cheap, then the LCC beadlocks should do the trick...although, I am not sure if they'll hold up to the weight of the bullys. |

I ran LCC wheels on my Bully for almost a year before they started cracking by the hex. They are a great wheel for the bully IMO. I had a pretty light bully though, around 5.5 lbs.
