Here you go Mike all you need is some 1/4in material then follow the pics:ror: this is for 1.9 inner ring and spacers.

First you need 15/32 drill.AFTER you drill the hole slide the table up lock it in place then take the bit out from the bottom.

How do you color them? Noob question Im sure but THinking about making some of these...

Re: Drill press rim mod's with VP hubs
 

I could only find polycarbonate in one color smokey grey or clear other then that you will have to paint them.

Re: Drill press rim mod's with VP hubs
 

MR. Frikenwoodro you could use any tamiya or pactra colors to paint the inside of the faces "thumbsup"

Re: Drill press rim mod's with VP hubs
 

Decided to play around with the wheels that came on the New Bright toy grade I bought.
I drilled a 1/2" hole in the center and then removed the raised portion with a Forstner bit on the drill press. Kinda cool but a little large at 2.8" they prob won't make it onto a crawler anytime soon.
RC4WD 6 lug steelie hubs.
Still have to drill the holes for the hub screws and nuts.
