|  Narrowed Axial 40 Series Beadlock Wheels
After how well this job came out both the customer and I though you guys may want to check them out. These are a set of 40 series Axial Beadlocks that I custom narrowed and fiberglassed for the customer. These are about as narrow as you can go without having to modify the beadlock system which we didn't want to do here. The wheel were surprisingly easy to work with and the finished look is out of this world. Thanks to my customer for letting me show then off. Thanks Steve! David Xtreme Rc Hobbies |

You can go alot skinnier that that with the axials  Can't with the prolines though. My axials are cut down to,if I remember right,1 3/8" wide. Talk about making the Moabs skinny up Coarse my Moabs have a 1/2" taken out of the width also. IMHO,perfect combination. The tires still hook up like mad and my 359's turn them sooooo much easier now.

It didn't move the center out any more than narrowing them down to 2". You gotta double narrow them Take as much as you can from the back and then the same from the front and you coupld possibly go as narrow as 1 1/4" wide if you wanted. Possibly even skinnier if you wanted to buy shorter screws. IMHO though,1 3/8 to 1 1/2" is all you need to go. You can't go that narrow with the Prolines because of the way the wheel is. Most of the wheel is at the face of the wheel,so you can't double narrow them. Going this narrow with the Prolines,you'll get a ton of scrub steer,like your saying. Even if you didn't care about putting up with crappy steering and a mile of scrub,I don't think you can get this narrow with Proline beadlocks. My son runs Prolines,I could probly go a little narrower but it'd add scrub bad. I think his are at 1 7/8" wide right now. Last edited by Reflection; 11-04-2006 at 07:09 AM. | |
