| Dr.Frank's new shoes
Hello, for my new 2.2 project i need a set of wheels. My decision was to make my own. As an example i took the "Egressor" style. The advantage of this design is the space you got inside the wheel, more room for knuckle weights. They will take VP SLW hubs, no problems with various setups. So what do you think: Greetings Frank |

Quite nice. How wide are they? That's the one thing I don't like about SLW's, those darn threaded lumps around the inside of the inner margin of the wheel. My knuckles wts had to be designed around them unfortunately.

Woah, that's genius! I like the idea of using the outer plate so you can easily change styles if your so inclined to AND if it gets damaged, its a quick fix, you are a genius |

thanks, but i'm only a jacker, okay the design is mine, the first toughts belong to Christian "Egressor" and Eddie "Team Brood". So the main compliment goes to them. Greetings Frank | |

| I understand how that goes, but at least you were smart enough to come up with a modified design that works for you. Thanks for inspiring me for my own simpler rims for my crawler .

i like it! it'd be coo to see some of the wheel manufacturers adopt this configuration. i like the idea of swapping out just plates when you want a different looking wheel.

Reallly nice Frank. You've got your game stepped up that's for sure! That's a pretty cool idea, wish we could get some more setups like that from our vendors here. Just changing colors would be cool, but being able to change hubs for using them on different rigs is Awesome. |
