|  How to clear 2.2 Wheels with 100% offset.
Well if you have a Clod and want to make it a 2.2 Comp Crawler. This is really the first things you need to do. Below is a List of items that are needed. Very easy mod and 100% bolt up. More of an upgrade then Mod really. Items Needed: -(100%) Offset 2.2 Wheels -Small C'ed axle tubes (www.jpcustomrcs.com) -Small Knuckles (www.jpcustomrcs.com) -Lock-tight (Lows-WalMart) -File (Fine) -4mm x 12mm Set Screws (www.tonyscrews.com) -CA Glue (LHS) -10-15min of Free Time Optional Items: -Stock width CVD's w/14mm hex's -Mayhem 2.2 14mm BeadLocks with 100% offset The point to all this is to bring your track with in closer to guys running TLT's and Ax-10's. Helps in Turning, Clearing Gates and even helps your gear case from getting hit so much. Step One: Install the Alumn Tubes and Knuckles that are listed above.  Step Two: Notice how the Bolt that holds the knuckles sticks out? Well this is what we are going to take care of.  Remove the knuckles and set the brass bushings and spacers off to the side. The bolt you won't need. Just toss it in a Scape bin.  Get your CA Glue and Glue these to pieces together like so. We have to CA them together b/c the Set screws have no head to keep them from falling out while driving.  Now Glue both of these to the Knuckles themselves. Don't use much CA. Just enough to hold them in place. I just put a few drops on an hobby knife and applied it that way.  Use the 4mm x 12mm Set screws here. Apply a little of Blue Lock-tight on the bottom half of the thread. This is the part going into the knuckles. Don't use to much here either.  Installed and completed  Last step and this will vary from wheel to wheel. The Beadlock I'm using were hitting the arms on the knuckles. A few seconds on the grinder and a little file time. Took care of it in no time. Here shows the clearance this gives you between the rings and the knuckles.  Over all track width  And here are some 5in 2.2 tires mounted up. Gave me 1-3/8in ground clearnace. Thats the lowest hanging part on the axle.   Last edited by run2jeepn; 03-07-2008 at 03:05 PM. |

I can't figure out if you're giving away wheels, or paying me to have them. In for the chance though!  Grub screw! Smart! | |

got mine back today after some added machinework measurement of the wheels where the beads mate up mayhems @ 9 7/8" some wheels that i have been running, old prototype stuff you cant buy anymore @ 10 7/16" i was really happy having those wheels pictured above, they made my total track width great, but the mayhems are over a 1/2" narrower  no pics of them with tires yet, its gonna be a looooong night for me and the 2mm allen wrench  |

Awesome write up! Does anyone run a 0 offset Plastic wheel on their clod? Maybe something from a buggy or touring car with a 12 MM hex? If not, where can I get some of those Beadlocks??? Thanks Jeff |

Cool- sounds like the ticket. Im not Totally sold on Delrin over Aluminum, but it is more of a cost factor right now. Thanks and can you PM me some information or a link on your stuff? |

Jeremy, thanks- Is there a 12MM to 14MM adapter that does not add width to the truck? Is my only option drilling the axles and pinnig 14MM hex's? |

Well, if you already have a 12mm hex setup (which, IIRC, is stock for the clod) and need a 2.2 beadlock, then Mayhem already makes that setup. No reason to use a different hex. Just check the vendors section.
