You are 100% correct. The radiator was mounted to the upper hole on my RTR.
The hole shown in your manual is the swaybar mount point.

Jato Tries to Salvage a Methed-Out Shitbox H10 Optic

Thank you! I suggest a kit. They are fun to build and look great. They seem to be all the rage right now
I think the longer wheelbase and big skid plate are going to hurt their performance, but they should make a really fun trail rig.
Thanks for confirming!
What inserts are you running in the Trepadors?
I completely forgot to mention that. Thanks for the reminder!
I'm trying these cheap Injora medium inserts. Much more reasonable than the insanely overpriced 3D printed inserts out there.
That's what i put in my son's rig. They feel pretty good and have a bit of weight to them.
They definitely have some heft. Not sure how they will perform, but they don't seem absolutely terrible. And the set of (4) only cost $20! Somebody in the Vanquish H10 group posted pics of their Optic on Trepadors and it sit perfectly. When I asked which inserts he was using, he stated these Injora mediums so I figured I would give them a try.
Another idea to get around the tires rubbing the chassis is using high-clearance front lower links and turning them sideways. It is reported that the Incision links work. Has anyone tried this on their Optic?

I wonder if the tss wheels have the same lug pattern as locked ups AO8? If so, it would give you more hub options.
The chinese hubs on Amazon work with vanquish wheels. They're sold in 3mm increments. 12mm is close to .475. 9mm is close to .350. Hardware is metric. Some hubs include it.

I asked Cory and he didn't mention compatability with the LURC hubs, but I had the same thought as you. Cory even said he sent me his very last set of hubs so he can't run his remaining wheels wtihout them. And LURC is in his area so I would think he would know if the wheels and hubs were compatible. I can double-check though.
Yes! You brought up a great point and I'm researching those metric "SLW" hubs now as well as metric scale hardware. Vanquish prices are crazy on the SLW hubs. And my test fit was with Fanquish hubs last night.
I like it!
1:1 use studs and nuts so hard to compare but I think it's a fair representation?
Yes we are close. Cory and I used to comp together .... but I've never had his wheels on anything.
So no idea if there is any compatibility, but I suspect not.
We make a few "in between" sizes for SLW hubs as well, for a bit less than VP.
