Default Hustler Help

I have my super Hustler somewhat together, but I have run into a prob. I was trying to use some axial 40 series beadlocks( not narrowed ) I already had. I bought the 17 mm wheel adaptors from RCP. I fit them up and they are way too wide on the inside and hit the links what are my options. I have the stock clod 12mm adaptors, and some 14mm aluminum ttr ones that i got with the ttr cvd's and Jp knuckles I bought. do I need wideners or what. Any and all info will help

I am not opposed to just getting the pro-line narrow beadlocks, but not sure exactly what I need for them either. I know they are 23mm but will I need adaptors or wideners for them. Please share all your knowledge with me guys. Thanks in advance

The simple fix is just to get widners. Or narrow the wheels you have now . Or get the proline ones.

I suggest scraping the axial ! Invest in the proline .

Do the narrow prolines need wideners?

Default ditching the axials

O.K. I am going to order the narrow prolines, but not sure which adaptors to get. Wil I need just 23mm adaptors or 23mm wideners/adaptors. I just don't want to buy things that are wrong. Thanks!

I'm not sure, you may need to additionally narrow those rims.

I replied to your other post too.

You shouldn't have to use wideners to clear anything. I have never used them.

With the older style Axial 40 series beadlocks you will need to narrow the wheels for use on clod axles. There used to be a couple of good tutorials on here but I couldn't find them. I know one lost all of the pictures so it may have been deleted.

Aye, just narrow the rim on the inside bead. Works a treat.
