They should fit no problem. Thats why I showed them being used with a Maxx Wheel. I believe a Cheyenne wheel as a little more room then a Maxx Does.

I will take a set of 4 when they become available. Also I should be pimped by the weekend if all the parts show up in time. We already got my neighbors up and running. It's not quite done but impressed none the less.

Most of this climb is 60 to 70 degree.

Hey, I've never seen the Crawlerstore adapters, so I don't know whether they are anything like the GMade ones. Can you confirm that Sub-C cells will fit in there with a GMade adapter?

Looking good, BTW.

What do the G-Made ones look like? I know the RC4WD and Ace's work perfect. The Crawlerstore ones can work, but need to be shaved for clearance.

Production is getting started this week on them. Along with some 12mm to 14mm Adatp... And there is a New 2.2 beadlock in the works. Do you want an Alumn. Beadlocks for the Price as the Axial's Ones....

Have any made yet? I'm thinking Proline Beadlocks for now (narrow style) and Moab xls for my clod. So that's a 23mm rim which I have adaptors for now.

Nice job! I'll take a set of 4. I could run sub-c's with axial's? Correct if I'm wrong.

By my findings, these will not work with the Proline beadlocks if you are using the RC4WD 12 to 23mm adapters and New Era Models aluminum knuckles.

Can you tell me why? And how you found your answer? Since I have the only pairs in the world like these. Wait a min...New Era Knuckles, what are you talking about.

I can tell you exactly why. If they are the knuckles from New Era Models the diameter is the same as the adapter from RC4wd. The adapter needs to spin and if you cut in to the knuckle the battery will sit lower then the adapter and you wheel will not spin. I just made a set of sleeves tonight and mounted the batteries to the knuckles and tomorrow I am running it. After that I will take it apart and get pics for you.

These are no where near what New Era Knuckles are. I had these special made just for me. To My Specs. I have mounted 4 Sub-C's inside a Stock Maxx wheel with no issues of rubbing. Now if they can fit inside a Maxx wheel. I can't see any issues with them not fitting inside any wheel with a larger dia Bead like 40's and XTM wheels. Infact I have some 40's and XTM wheels and the have Zero Rubbing issues as well. I have spent over $1000's to get these made. One of the Main things I wanted was to have these work with Pro-Line Beadlocks.


New Era's.


And then Mine.

That's fine. I just wanted to point out my findings and let you know. I didn't see any issue with them working with the wheels, just the RC4WD adapters was my concern.
