Default RC Alloys LST adapter rings mounted up-pics-

the mailman brought a late christmas present to myself today.
i used an oversized dremel cutting wheel thingy in the drill press, much like jasons idea, but a little larger in scale. it was way easier than i expected. i didnt really do any real measuring, just eyeballed it with the rings.
anyone need any chrome rings?

Did you order up the TXT wheels and drill the clod adapters or just order the Jugg wheels?

Looks good, Zilla IVs are fun.

ya those are txt wheels. i drilled out the wheel wideners to 9/32 and they fit nice and snug.
i will say be careful doing that. i drilled a couple holes in my fingers holding them by hand while drillling. good thing santa brought me a new box of band aids

If you've got a drill press...how on earth did you drill into your fingers-twice!

This is my first time on the site,so bear with me ,Im looking for rings to go on my TXT that have Team Assoc. BFT wheels and tires on. Can I make rings to attach or can I make some, that I can bolt on? I would like to make them out of aluminum. and paint them whatever color I want. how did you make yours? thanks

Sounds like you need to learn how to "back-off" a drill.
