aight thought i would post up this simple mod. i will be making a post in the tips & tricks thread as well. i cut up my integy 1.9 aluminum rims to widen them. i used a set of stock tlt rims cut up. it was a pretty simple proccess that really only need a drill press, files, exacto knife, and some sand paper. i first must give credit to lappdogg on scale4x4 for the idea. i saw it at the last augusta scale comp but there was no how to on it. it took a while to grind down the rim but it is worth it imo. this also gives the tire a nice scale puffy look to it.
first chuck up a axle or something to hold the rim in the drill press. i used a 4mm long bolt with washers and nuts. with the exacto cut the tlt rim right on the rear portion of the rim just before it bevels inward. this will give you your extension.
next i chucked up the integy rim and with some files and sand paper i removed the front bead lip. wear away a slight taper to the front of the rim to help slide the extension on.
next smooth the inner edge of the tlt extension and press it on and glue. it will be a tight fit and holds well.
and thats it. this is what you are left with. the width can be adjusted by how far you slide the extension on or where you cut it.
