Bumping with more wheel ideas... 2.2 scale. With scale 2.2's becoming more popular and the tires getting bigger, we need wheels with less backspacing. And a scale 1" wide SLW with a dish that can use a .350 hub and have zero backspacing would be ideal IMO. This... With a beadlock... Or any other OMF beadlock on this page... http://www.omfperformance.com/beadlocked_wheels.php What about some different beadlock ring designs? |

And how about a dig unit for the Traxxas Summit tranny for the scaler crowd? Last edited by Waiting Dragon; 04-06-2011 at 10:19 PM. | |

1.9 wheels with more positive offset for scalers. Not much out there to keep the track width narrow. Similar offset to HPI's 0 offset stock car wheels. Have replacable hubs like your 2.2's to make it adjustable if you want a wider option.

Scaler transmission!!! Ideas: Re-design the AX10 tranny using the same gears, maybe laying it down some and allow for the use of 50-60t spurs. Or just build a low profile tranny as we don't have to many option for GRUs either. |

There is already a 2 speed R2 kinda for scalers, but is a bit too slow for my taste. So yeah scaler tranny and a really strong winch too, like the one MSD makes(powerwise). |

I'm easy..... I like too see Vanquish offer their hubs in different colors... I'd like some red anodized hubs for my new SLW V5 Re-spuns. (black wheel, red rings and red hubs). That would look really badass . |

Knuckle weights that resemble disk rotors and calipers for scalers. Add low slung weight and style, 2 fer 1

Come on mrc gears lol.. That machined like a brake rotor thing for the knuckle weights is a good one tho. |

I had a good idea last night, it would be easy and quick to produce as well. I know you said that you are working on a faux disc brake hex adapter, but how about a simple brake rotor that would sandwich between the 2 halves of the RC4WD 1.9 and 2.2 steel wheels? It would just basically have enough of a diameter to be seen from the front section of the wheel. It could be .030-.040 thickness and it would just need the holes for the wheel hardware to pass through it. I get the first set if you build these! |
