| 1.9 wheels clear the knuckles on a creeper?
Like Hummer wheels or 0mm offset HPI stock car wheels. Anyone try these? A search under "1.9 Creeper" yields nothing I can find. Thanks.

I just tried Tamiya Hummer rims and they don't clear the knuckles, not even close. For these to fit you'd need a hex that's at least 1/2" long, maybe 5/8", or use different offset rims. Richard |

Yeah, not gonna happen ... even 2.2's with the wrong offset won't clear them. They are just some big arse knuckles

I recenly purchased a set of proline titus weighted wheels for my creeper and found that the knuckles rubbed, then jkwrangler turned me on to his fix for this issue. You have two choices, if this is going to be a scale project I would go with the 13mm red over the 19mm blue. The red will give you about a half inch on each side with of course a total 1inch width increase overall. I just ordered mine a couple of days ago but jkwrangler assured me he had used his several times with no issues. search the venom creeper board for proline titus and you'll find the thread. http://www.rpphobby.com/SearchResult...+wheel+widener http://www.junfac.com/shop/index.php...df5ca5074f69ba http://www.junfac.com/shop/index.php...roducts_id=193 |

The red ones are what I have... So far no issues.. I'll be comping it again this weekend and will let you know if I have anything breaks.. I was leery at first as I've already snapped an axle right where the pin goes through after taking a fall off the comp course when I was first practicing on it.. I also exploded the ball end of an axle shortly after that.. Venom stepped up to the plate and sent me 4 complete axles sets.. That's what I'm running now.. Like I said before.. a 4ft roller and no issues at all.. When I quite all my travel for work I'll sit down and take a few picks of my setup... |
