We all might not like to admit when we mess up a bit, but its a big part of and happens a lot in this hobby. Ive lost count of the times ive purchased "upgrades" and made modifications that later ended up regretting. Good on you for still making this video and showing how its not always gonna go right.

I think it's pretty sweet! It's all about what you are going to do with it I suppose. Looks good though, and seems to perform quite well. Thanks for another cool video Adam!

Thanks! I need to sort out the fitment of the treal hexes. Injora makes a set of stamped steel wheels and those should fit better. Maybe I'll give those a shot next.

I painted some rc4wd wheels used a smal brush and several coats worked pretty good and wasn’t to hard to do as for the wideners I run them and plus 4 axial pretty much on all my rigs lots of flex lots of side hill and a lot of vertical if weighted right in the nose takes some getting use to 🔥🔥🔥😎👍

I feel like +4mm is the perfect stance for these things. Great blend of function and looks.
@slzbuildz2 жыл бұрын
I think you have gone too wide on this one. I loved the old wheels. Gave it a more scale look. I think you should throw the foams back in the tires as well. I think the upgrades in this video have hindered your performance. Love your builds though man keep it up.

Hello from Chile! I recently bought one gladiator after your upgrades videos and im in the way making some little upgrades with your examples. For this bronco i think that you need to go back 1 or 2 steps just as you said, maybe the extra width can help you with stability but its almost out of "scale fidelity??". And it looks that you have so much weight in the rear, you maybe could try to make a fake spare tire of foam or anything lightweight and cover it with a custom made "leather" wheel cover?? You will get the look without the weight. The wheels... i think that the previous ones where a lot better, in look and performance.... btw your builds are awesome and inspires me to make my gladiator a really good crawler. I will be waiting for your updates! Keep the good work!!!

@@CapeCrawlers same I have the treal brass +5 hex extender some heavy slammers I must say, but the brass wheel nut and injora wheel combo only grabs 2 threads at most and I have to run some red lock right into the threads to keep the surpass outrunner torque from loosing them constantly
@Kettenhund752 жыл бұрын
You lose all side hill stability when you don't have some kind of internal tire support. If you're not happy with stock foams get some ox foams, or the ultimate - slymeballz from flubber stufferz.

I think I need to break down and try the slymeballz . I’ve heard nothing but great things about them!

If you flip the rock slider mount, L shape down, the rock slider will sit against the body with awesome body protection.
@CapeCrawlers2 жыл бұрын
You are absolutely right. I found out after this video I had ordered the wrong sliders also!
@HobbyPerfeXion2 жыл бұрын
I haven't seen what comes next in this series cuz I'm going through them in order. But I don't think those rims were the way to go. And I think the sliders stick out too far. And that red paint you got sure looks different on the metal rims vs. the plastic. Looking forward to seeing what's next.

@troyavery6889 Жыл бұрын
My personal opinion is the reds kinda clash, but maybe you get the wheels a little dirty and they won’t stand out as much. For the stance just a little wide for your indoor coarse, but I bet they rock outside 👍

Have you tried liquid masking tape? Works great where normal masking tape won't fit. Used Maskol before but no idea if it's available over there.

@scratchbuilder1012 жыл бұрын
The flipping of the rims didn't add more flex. More distance between the tires allows more reach. If you were to measure the angle of the axle with the tires mounted both ways, you would find the angle is the same.
@CapeCrawlers2 жыл бұрын
You’re right, I inaccurately associate reach with articulation when in fact they are not synonymous

I’d narrow it jus a bit….but it performed good 👍
@CapeCrawlers2 жыл бұрын
I’m leaning that way. The stance just doesn’t look right being so wide. But I’ll drive it for a couple of days and see if it’s worth keeping it this way.

I thought about putting one of the Injora wheels on there but I’m concerned about the weight. The beadlocks are ~12g a piece and that makes a big difference out back there. I may just remove the spare all together. What do you think?
