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...

What about some different beadlock ring designs?

I wanna support this idea!

And how about a dig unit for the Traxxas Summit tranny for the scaler crowd?

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.

2-Speed would be sweet, Axial transmission style lol.

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!
