| My way to narrow Axial Trail Ready wheels
Here is how I narrowed the wheels. I cut the outer piece, the one with the hub for the traction pin. That way I split the wheel interior from the outer ring. I had to increase the outer ring internal diameter in order to have it slip on the wheel interior, then I fixed it with ca glue. The final piece is 9 mm narrower toward the interior. The internal spacer between the inner and outer ring was cut in 3 pieces throwing away the middle part of about 9mm. Reassembled using ca glue and JB weld in the bead. The final result is a 1 inch wide wheel where the inner part has the same offset of the original one but the outer part is 9 mm closer to the axle. |

Nice, did you use drum sander on Dremel to increase the outer ring internal diameter in order to have it slip on the wheel interior?

It was a very tough and long work, it would be better to use a lathe and reduce the outer diameter of the wheel interior, but I don't have it. My Wraith is waiting a 550 motor... | |

Same backspacing, but the offset is different* Looks good actually |
