Why doesn't the US use the metric system? Because fawk you, that's why. We're America and until the last couple generations of sexually misguided, gender confused idiotards came about we were happy to do whatever we want because we can.

| Re: 2.2 wheels/weights/hubs frustrations. Being more efficient and economic are good reasons to use to the same system as the rest of the world. "Because we can" isn't a good reason for well, anything, really.

| Re: 2.2 wheels/weights/hubs frustrations. We use the metric system plenty in the US, especially in industries that deal with the outside world. One is not better/more efficient/more accurate than the other despite what people who are bad at fractions will tell you in the internet, they're just different.

Another option would be this: https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/ssd00379.htm If I was using SSD wheels, save $8 per pair by using the same brand rotor weights rather than going with Vanquish. They even come with mounting hardware... Because (unfortunately) the product listing for the Vanquish item states: * Not guaranteed to work with non-Vanquish wheels https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/vps04002.htm |

The vanquish ones weigh almost 3x as much as those ssd's, so I rolled the dice. Last edited by DRED805; 07-17-2021 at 02:32 PM. | |

If it's for a crawler you can just use lead weight on any wheel to increase the weight. Wrap it in tape if your worried it will break lose. Or you can buy wheels that are high mass that don't need more weight. I love these wide skull wheels with the original fat pit bull xor tires https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0833P76VF...QC2BKDGVXKQDYQ Nevermind, I could have swore they had the 6lug slw hubs. Lead wheel weights, we'll steel now I guess is my preferred lazy way of lowering cog. But low weight makes the car crunchy when it falls off a ledge. Nothing beats trimming the fat from the top.

They are listed in the 2.2" wheel accessory section of SSD's website - nothing prevents their use on 2.2" wheels. I'd sell the Vanquish ones, and go this route. Save yourself a lot of hassle. My opinion, of course! | |

| Re: 2.2 wheels/weights/hubs frustrations. 39g vs 108g is enough difference for me to try to make these big bitches work. I've got wheels on the way that should solve the problem. If for some reason they don't work, I might go that route. Thanks for the input!

If you want weight dlux makes some massive knuckles I think They would work with any wheel. Lots of styles, but I don't know if he kept up with some of the newer axles. https://dluxfab.ecwid.com/Knuckles-Weights-c6232191 Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk Last edited by Voodoobrew; 07-17-2021 at 07:00 PM. |

Here's the vehicle in discussion, so far. I don't have anywhere to put my mamba x, so I'm currently making a metal mount out of a Simpson strong tie L bracket. I'll bolt to the frame rail behind the motor, on the passenger side of the dig servo. | |

Pretty sure you can swap the c-hubs around on those with all the other aftermarket stuff. Do those have the ar44 or ar60 diff? I like the ar60's that have the ar44 diff, they have more clearance, lower gearing and less torque twist. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk Last edited by Voodoobrew; 07-17-2021 at 08:13 PM. |
