Wheel help

[Richr8]

I just received a set of the Vanquish 1.9 wheels for my birthday. Unfortunately I did not realize that you also need the adapter hubs and they come in many sizes (depth offset). The Vanquish websites show several options that increase by 1/8" increments, but does not say which is required for the SCX 10.3. Does anyone know which are required? Also, do the hubs come with the screws to mount the wheel to the hub?

Nice score for your birthday. "thumbsup"

I don't own any VP stuff...too much $$$ for me, but I did a quick search and came up with these...

Then I looked them up on RPP... https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/vps07112.htm

Apparently, they use 4-40 screws which are NOT included. You can buy standard socket head screws at your local hardware store, or order on line.

This is the actual VP set but you will need 2 sets.
Vanquish screw set

You can also go with the LockedUp set of Acorn studs

Good luck. "thumbsup"

Thank you. "thumbsup"
I'm going to have to work on my search skills. I just ordered the 350 hubs and screws.

Check the package your wheels came in. They should come with the hardware for mounting to the SLW hubs.
You don’t necessarily have to buy the VP SLWs either. There are several vendors that sell SLW compatible hubs. Plenty of choices come up if you do a search on RPP.

Yep. Sure did. Just waiting for the hubs.

Thanks.

You should probably upgrade the wheel hex to a stepped hex. The SLW hubs fit better on stepped hexes, and the axle nut is less likely to come loose while your running it. They also come in different widths, i run 6mm Stepped hexes on all my crawlers.
