Brass portal covers & clearance

[AnimalHippie]

I'm putting together my parts/wish list for my trx that I'm about to purchase. I was wondering if anyone has had clearance issues with their after market wheels? Just don't want to buy wheels that aren't going to clear the brass I want to put on it for weight down low. From your experience. should I get all the brass parts available for this rig? Thank you for any & all info. Have a great day!

I'm using the Gmade steelies, and all the brass upgrades, and there's no clearance issues at all

No brass on my rig but no clearance issues at all with LockedUp RC steel portal covers & LockedUp RC steel C-hubs paired with Gmade SR04 and SSD RC Trail wheels.

I had issues with the brass weight I have puted on and my new axial wheels, at the end I had to buy the off set kit from mip adding 4 mm each side so it would not touch the wheels at all.

SSD Portal covers and there are no fitment issues using SSD wheels and Gmade SR steelies. This are the best out there imo and they add 150 grams per axle.

I got these brass portal covers due to the weight of them.

They fit the stock wheels just fine, but not my Axial and Gmade wheels. The problem isn't the circumference of the weight clearing the inside of the wheel, but how deep the wheel hex sits in the weight. The screw heads and some of the weight prevented the wheel from going on all the way. So, I ended up taking a grinder to the face of the brass portal cover, after removing all the little screws and removing just enough material to clear the wheel.
The weights started out at 100 grams a piece and ended up being 88.4 grams a piece after customizing them to fit my wheels. Not too bad.
You can get most anything to work if you use your imagination a bit.
