Wheel and tire update
I had to narrow the new wheels so i figured i would do a little pictorial of how i do it. Hope it helps someone

i start by marking my cut lines


heres my wheel adapter for drill press, its a TTR straight axle


Wheel on adapter


I cut w/ a utility knife


First cut


chucked back up


Second cut


How i glue the rims, ive tried several ways this is a new way, see how long it lasts

Wipe both sides down with Alchol


I treat one side with Losi tire glue


Then i spray Zip kick on the oppisite side


Stick the sides together


Now heres the new im trying, Q-bond adhesive its insane!
I put a bead around the seam, then hit with kicker


Now i fill seams a little at a time with Q-bond and the powder reinforcement compound


I did 2 wheels w/ the Q-bond and filler, and 2 w/o the filler so its a test


wheels done


Tire, foam mounted to wheels


Ill have some Outside pics Of tires mounted up to the truck Tomorrow

Thanks its been a pretty straight forward build except the tires They were a little interesting.

Last piece of the puzzle!!
Got my Turbo Tech steering setup!




The mount is cut out for a Hitec 7980 servo, you need to shave the axle tube a bit (file needed is all) to get everything in.
