Dude, dont advertise in Mr. V's thread. He is a vendor and sells the wheels he puts in this thread. Also, there have been plenty of wheels that take vp hubs available for a while, this is more for guys that want a DIY method.

No need to apologize to me man. Even if he wasn't selling them a scale wheel that takes a vp hub isn't really what this thread is about.

They need 700 VP hubs you could use smaller hubs with some of the spacers i sell,pm me for price on spacers.

i was using 225 hubs on my b44 wheels on my bully axles that had dlux berg width tubes. i can get a measurement of outside tire to outside tire if you want.

How much did this stuff cost you. I'm trying to decide if I buy a set from Mr. V or make my own

 

[MR.VERTICAL]

Boss Claws are really hard to mount up here are some tips that will help you. You will need some soap & water just a little soap and some Q-tip i'll let the pics do the talken.
P.S bolt the face on then do the back side.

will the drill press mod and vp hubs work with a stock xr10 wheel ?

I too am curious. Looking at my XR10 wheels, it looks like there wouldn't be enough material to drill. I think one could grind down where the hex goes and make an even surface. I don't have a drill press (or any fancy bits. or any hubs. or anything really...) or I'd give it a go.

I'm tryna run XR10 wheels on a set of TLT axles, and it DOES work (with wideners), but I need just a hair more width up front to clear my links/servo/battery. Any ideas?

Mr V, Great thread. I was wondering what size the hole saws are needed for super wheels? It's the same process as 2.2, just BIGGER. Yes?"thumbsup"

 

[bdth9447]

Great work thanks for sharing the infor

 

[SDheavymetal]

I see you use a 15/32 drill bit and ream it out a little. Have you tried a 31/64 bit or is it too large. I'm using plastic wheels.
Thanks Matt
