I've nerrowed the stock venom wheels for clearance and some hight.Nerrowed the rear to 1in and the front to 3/4in.I used CA glue and 5 minute epoxy to put them together. PIC 1 are the stock wheels. PIC 2 the rear wheel cut into sections. PIC 3 a cut off wheel chucked into the drill press for nice streight cuts. PIC 4 the jig I used to make sure thay got glued together streight. PIC 5 rear wheel nerrowed to 1in. PIC 6 front nerrowed to 3/4 in. |

| Re: ratterd's Venom build
In my build I've changed out the stock venom locker in the front with a H R locker for a AX10 and the stock ring and pinion with the AX10 over drive ring and pinion(will be testing soon).We have a member that has a creeper that we have been up grading with better parts as they break,I've changed the front venom CVDs with berg dog bones and cups(thay are working great).The problem now is he has changed the stock front locker to the ATOMIC red locker and since he's done that he has broken 3 pinions with'in 10 minutes of running.has anyone else had issues with the ATOMIC red locker after changing it.

That's really clean. So you took the plastic case off the esc to save a couple grams?
