What hubs for CI 6 bolt wheels?

[heavyD]

Hi
I have some CI 6 bolt 1 inch wheels and I wanted to know what hubs to use on them?
I'm using a Wraith ar60 front axle and a ar44 rear axle on a sucker punch chassis.

Trying to keep the track as narrow as possible

Any ideas?

Something round a 350 will work. It will really depend on what weight setup you have up front and what tires you will run since too narrow will put them into the links & shocks badly.

On the rear even an 850 will be real narrow compared to the front.

Hi
I either be running Pitbull xor or JC ruptures so I ordered 475 and 600 hubs and 850 for the back.
Do you think this will cause problems?

What options do I have for weights on the front?

I'm grateful for all your help
Thankyou [emoji3]

.185 or .225 on the front should let those tires just barely clear the cage at full lock full stuff, unless you have stupid amounts of flex or more than 60° of steering. Even with .850 on the rear, it's like 3/4" narrower than the front with .185, and the tires will definitely grab the cage. I went with .185 front and rear and AR60 width tubes on my AR44. A set of 1/4" (per side) hub spacers https://dluxfab.ecwid.com/#!/1-16-1-8-1-4-hub-spacers/p/8433906/category=1515484 stacked on .850 hubs should allow you to run a stock width AR44 and still have the 6" tires clear the cage.

As for weights, go straight to a set of Dlux brass knuckles and don't look back. You can fit 2 extra brass rings on the outside with a .185 hub, and depending on your c-hub, you might be able to fit 1 or 2 more on the inside (cut to fit.) If you go all in, that could net you 165g+ EACH, or roughly 12oz.

You can go overboard with front weight if you'd like, a pot metal AR60 housing is +5oz, a set of inner tubes will fit inside the metal housing and add 2oz, Locked Up RC heavyweight spool is +2oz, you can even put a brass diff cover on for another 2oz. Along with the Dlux setup, that would put just the front axle right near 2lbs (assembled, not just the added weight.)
