Default Hubs and track width

Yes, I searched.

So I'm building a Bully, have a set of D-lux beadlocks on the way and was wondering what size SLW hubs I'm going to need. Any info is appreciated.

I also checked D-lux site and it appears he isn't selling wheels anymore, at least I didn't see them listed.

Thanks in advance for helping a supernoob.

Erik is most definitely still making Wheels

The track width will depend on the wheels and tires you select

With D-lux CF wheels and Narrowed Voodoo's Vp wraith SWL 725 and 475's hubs will give you a track width of 10 3/4" on the front and 10 " on the rear.

Having the rear narrow then the front make getting the truck thru tight gates a little easier.

If you run RC4wd knuckle weights you'll need to remove just a little material from the hub's web's near the Hex so they do not rub the weights

When I click on the link at the bottom of D-lux's posts, it seems to bring me to a different site than that with less products, although I am extremely computer illiterate so I'm probably doing something wrong!
I really should do a build thread, problem is I never remember to take progress pics, nor have I figured out how to post them. I do believe it is time to learn, so there's a good chance there will be a thread.
Thank you for the Chump Air and the fast shipping, much appreciated!

Thank you for the reply, that sounds like a good starting point. Not sure on the knuckle weights as of now, was thinking RC Bros, but I have some Blue Monkey ones collecting dust so I might try to make those work.

I don't hit gates!

At least some action shots. Im still eyeing the bully's myself so I just keep looking at pictures and reading everyones stuff.

No problem - just keeping the boss man happy with them.

Good to see another come back to the comp side of crawling
