| Presenting Shifts, Lightweight n' Flexible Offset Hubs Lattice Innovations is pleased to introduce Shift Hubs. Shifts are new hubs designed to be flexible, allowing you to adjust your offset simply by adding or removing spacers. The core is made of machined 6262 aluminum (here in the USA). The spacers are made of plastic offering a balance of strength and weight. The regular shift hub has an offset of .400" and weighs in at only 4 grams. These hubs run directly off the pin, allowing you to remove your hexes and save even more weight and quite a bit of that nasty wheel slop. The hubs have 6 holes tapped to M3x0.5 and 6 other holes drilled to 3/3nd, ready for a #4-40 tap if you like. You may need to purchase longer screws than the ones you are using in your current hubs depending on the number of spacers used. Shifts are compatible with ANY SLW style wheel / any other wheels with the same bolt pattern. UPDATE!!! 4.21.15 Shift hubs will now be shipping tapped for M3x0.5 screws standard (6x holes tapped to M3). There will be 6x additional holes drilled to 3/32 for a #4-40 screw, or to be used as backup M3 holes if your original ones get stripped. We are now offering shifts in custom Anodized colors. There are currently 8 colors to choose from and we will be adding more to the lineup soon. Get your silver shift hubs from TCS Crawlers for $40 For custom anodized colors send me a PM Weight Widths Silver Last edited by BC-Brian; 06-05-2017 at 07:07 PM. |

Thanks Duuuuude The hubs are designed around the stock XR10 axle. That being said it is very easy to drill them out, up to 6mm. Hold them in a vice and slowly drill through the center hole. If you want to take it easy drill them out to 5mm and then 6mm. Last edited by BC-Brian; 04-20-2015 at 09:06 PM. |

But i too would like a lower profile version, i know on the rear of my ar60 sporty i run .225s and it's almost too wide at that, so thinner would be better, gives more room for adjustability, i think you could probably shave the entire "square" part off the back and recess the pin in the round part, should make material and machining considerably cheaper too My question is, what's the ID of the spacer rings? will we be able to get a nut driver in there if we run s300/beef axles? I would definitely take a mitt full if i could use them as low as .225 or even lower. Last edited by T3rry; 03-26-2013 at 02:24 PM. | |

What would the comparable slw hub be to the widest we can get with these? Great product.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback, and now some answers. Quote:
The Inside Diameter of the spacers is .44" which should be enough room or your nut driver. Quote:

| Re: Presenting Shifts, Lightweight n' Flexible Offset Hubs Edit: Yes they do. I don't have the RCBros knuckle weight system. If you want to measure the inside clearance I can try ti help you determine if they will it. The outside diameter of the Hubs are .850" Hope that helps.

| Re: Presenting Shifts, Lightweight n' Flexible Offset Hubs As long as they are no larger in OD than the flange on the SLW hub, then they should work just fine... |

The diameter is not larger than an SLW hub so it sounds like you should be ok. Quote:
Hopefully this is the first of a few products, I already have some other stuff in mind. I appreciate the thoughts and ideas you guys have. | ||

| Re: Presenting Shifts, Lightweight n' Flexible Offset Hubs Here is a plug for this product I tested these in a local winter series, that I won !! ( a shameless plug for me ) This product is rock solid, they stood up to everything I threw at them. I saw some of the questions and thought these pictures might help. Mounted with Vanquish weights. On the rear with SLW's RCBros weights This really is good stuff Force5 |

Great product idea! You should just ditch the 4-40 and make them 3mm from the get go though. That would mean no need for people to purchase longer screws as I'm sure we all have a huge stash of 3mm hardware laying around.

| Re: Presenting Shifts, Lightweight n' Flexible Offset Hubs A 3mm tap will run through those 4-40 holes easily. No drilling required. |
