*New* DCW Delrin Wheel Thread

[Duuuuuuuude]

After much testing and tuning and conversation and ups and downs, the new DCW wheel lineup is finally here! Wooha!

I'm happy to be bringing a whole new lineup of delrin 2.2's and 1.9's, as well as keeping available some of the old favorites.

Available colors are black, white, and for a limited time, blue.

ALL WHEELS will now come with 12 beadlock bolt holes.

2.2's will come in widths of 1" and 1.25" with .600" backspacing.

1.9's will come .900" wide with .500" offsets.

Most wheels are priced between $65 and $75 for a set of 4. Hubs, rings, and hardware are not included. See DCW Crawlers for more info.

These wheels require #2/56 or 2mm ring hardware that is no longer than 1/4"/7mm.

You can place your order on the DCW Crawlers website.
On to the wheels!

The 2.2 Mammoth


The 2.2 Sierra


The 2.2 Radiant


The 1.9 Hurricane (directional)


The 1.9 Wagon


The 1.9 Twister (directional) Also available in 2.2

dang! killer lineup Chris!

[Duuuuuuuude]

Along with the new stuff, I will be continuing some of the more popular previous offerings in both 1.9 and 2.2.

8 Hole



10 Hole



The ever popular Kidney Bean




I'm also thinking about offering solid (or blank) faced wheels with an option to have them custom engraved with your name or logo.

More colors will hopefully be an option in the future. I get requests for them, but they've always come at a high cost. I may have found someplace to source it from that is much more reasonable. In a week or two I expect to have some colored delrin in hand to play around with, so watch out for that.

And, in an effort to make your DCW purchase experience as "one stop shop" as possible, I'm looking to get some exclusive beadlock rings made up, and once I know that is a go, I'll source some hardware to go along with them.

One more thing to note: I am no longer offering glue-on wheels. They are frankly a PITA to make, and the odds of the lathe spitting them out and trashing the wheel as I cut the beads are high.

I read on your site that these work with axial rings? Do you have any pictures? also, what aprox would a 1.9 and a 2.2 wheel weigh? I know the design can effect the weight a little

[rocpede]

These are really cool.. I'm building an OG Bruiser with 12mm converted axles, these wheels will be lighter then aluminum. Which is a plus, so I won't brake axles to much. An reading your website, about them designed to use axial beadlock rings. Locked up RC rings should work on these wheels, they designed there wheels off axial too..

Received mine today, very happy with the quality, at first i thought they were aluminum but is a pretty hard plastic, excellent machining and also included were some badass stickers

[Duuuuuuuude]

ATTENTION: If you have received 1.9's in the past couple of weeks, and having trouble getting rings to fit, send an email to dcwproducts@gmail.com. There was a programming error for the drill pattern that snuck by me. All affected wheels WILL BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. Contact me via the email address above to start the replacement process. You have my apologies for any inconveniences.

Yes, they are all drilled to match the Axial rings.

I don't have any pics with rings, though I will soon. My ring order from LURC just showed up yesterday and I haven't had a chance to do anything yet.

1.9's weigh approx 1.4 oz, 2.2's are approx 2-2.3 oz. Design and width does indeed have an effect.

lol...sorry about the stickers. I'm waiting on new DCW decals to be printed, so happy face stickers was the best I could do in a pinch.

[Duuuuuuuude]

Got a special delivery today...

[Szczerba]

Blue ya don't say...

[rustneversleeps]

So how many set of wheels do you think you have there...I'm really liking your wheels, it's hard to pick and choose...there all nice...

[Duuuuuuuude]

Should get a dozen or so sets out of that. I'll be cutting a set for my 2.2 Wraith this weekend.

[rustneversleeps]

Really, it looks more then that.So what style did you you pick for the Wraith.

[bilinvic]

Looking forward to seeing what a blue set looks like.

There's 5 foot of delrin in that pic. I had to bring a chop saw home from work to cut it up into manageable chunks.

Not sure on the style yet. There are a couple that I'd like to tweak on a bit still, so it may be one of them.

[JokersWild]

So did you do some cutting on the blue yet?

[Duuuuuuuude]

Yup. Should have pics tonight or tomorrow.

[Leon Sidursky]

VERY nice polishing on that Delrin, I was reading through your machining thread....I guess when you purchased your machines? You're a dedicated man and the hard work is showing in these wheels.

This is why I like the crawler side of RC. Great craftsman within this sport and the coolest rigs are the ones made from scratch. So much so it has pushed the big boys out of making them which is pretty cool in a way.

I'm not taking anything away when I ask this, your wheels look amazing....more of a "I trust you would do them right" kind of thing but would you make a set if you were to receive a CAD file? Obviously the cost would be more since you need to program and they would be a one off kinda deal.

[Duuuuuuuude]

Thank you sir. Shoot me a pm and we can discuss.

[Duuuuuuuude]

Pics lighten the color up just a tad...

[rustneversleeps]

I can see it now blue with With a silver ring and zinc scale bolts,now your talking.Now that's cool...would there be other colors or just true blue.....
Nice work....
