Drill press rim mod's with VP hubs

[Tgreer]

I wonder if this mod can be done with a stock xr wheel?

 

[MR.VERTICAL]

Did I miss it? What material and how thick are you using for the hub face/outer beadlock?

I USED 3/32 lexan but next time i will us 1/8 so i can countersink the hardware.

 

[ohh EPiC FAiL]

you just made me want to spend a lot of money since i can save so much :ror: i sold my comp rig a couple months ago to get a wraith now i want to get another one since i can make rims so cheap!

 

[jdobb]

very cool. gotta love it when you can do mods that work great and are cheap.

Just finished these up last night...it's funny now with this mod I look for wheels that need to be 12mm modded instead of buying ready to roll. Quite fun actually!"thumbsup"

Also, any of JConcepts "Tense" wheels are a direct bolt up to SLW Hubs :mrgreen:
Bolt pattern is exactly the same..
I was messing around with the flashy decor hubs the other day on the Axial 1.9's. Too much for this wheel/tire combo though.

With 15mm they were 1 1/8 so with 10mm should be pretty close to 1in. Post up when you get them done"thumbsup"

Well finished my mod tonight. The first 2 took a little longer than expected but the second 2 I did in no time!

 

[MR.VERTICAL]

Great job they look killer"thumbsup"

I'm having no luck finding spacers that I can screw into to make some custom wheels out of my stock losi ones. Were do I find different width spacers to order that are threaded, or can be tapped?:evil:
