Thanks again Glenn for the shout-out on my Astute replica. 👍. I used a pair of adapters which I think were for the Brat but they only needed a very thin shim on the inside plus a thick washer on the outside to bring the shoulder of the axle to just above the outside fixing surface of the wheel. The nut would then fully tighten and still leave the wheels to freely spin. For sure not a mod that would stand up long to regular abuse, but just right for the shelf or leisure running.
I didn't have to same success but didn't have any shimd. I ended up just using the plastic kit hex. Worked just as well. Had loads laying around. Love the video.
I just got my adapters in today, months and months after this video has come out. I haven't any shims yet but already I can see my subaru brat axles are not long enough with no shims. May be time to hit the machine shop and start meddling. need to fit tires with less traction roll and have 2 rear sets off a Grasshopper 2 to keep the look.
Pin spikes baby taking it old school before groomed tracks tamiya should offer them as an option great review as usual the bomb cause it's blowing up lol
Great informative video Glen. I've put the wider version carriers on monster beetle spindles fitted to a Brat to allow rear width hex wheels to fit on the front. I've added a washer on the wheel outside before the nut to also allow greater free movement. Thanks.
That Also looks really tough, Im Glad That i Snapped up a set of Genuine Egress Wheels and Tyres even if i did pay silly money $120AU Will Be Going on Something To also make it look Epic, Just Love that Style of wheel , cheers Glen Love the videos Bud :-)
Looks awesome and I'd be really interested to see how it drives. Just thought you could get the 4wd front wheels that match the dt02ms rear wheels now.
Looks mean with the wider fronts! Although reading Steve Q's comment about long term wear due to running it with the wider fronts is a good point. I would like to see it run at least a short run, even if you do it to another car!
Hi glenn is to nice see you experiment thing . tamiya stock is boring. Use a little tread lock & high torque servos. Tries 2 rear beefy tyre tire on front corner much better.
Looks epic to me! I’m for spikes every tine I don’t care what car it is 😂 maybe off-topic but how does putting spikes on a front wheel drive car compare to having spikes on the rear of a front wheel drive car such as the Kyosho maxxum FF? It came stock like that but were they more for looks or are they actually necessary? Just wondering...
What diameter shims are those? I'm new to RC, and I've ordered these hex bearings for my racing fighter so i can fit different wheels. I'm assuming you can get different thicknesses of shims, but it's the internal diameter I'm wondering about.
@@TAMIYALegends Hi, just the more realistic looking stuff like the Sand Scorcher, Wild One, Rough Rider, rally cars etc, it's honestly hard sometimes to tell the futuristic looking buggys apart lol, they all look the same, anyway love the channel, much better than the other Tamiya channel
I grabbed some similar adapters for my Super Hornet when I was resto-modding it. I had ordered buggy wheels without realizing they were 4wd. I had to drill out the center to 5mm, but I didn't have enough thread showing, and tightening fully locked the wheel. So my solution was similar to yours just back off the nut until the wheel spun properly. Suffice to say, I shattered those rims, so now my Super Hornet is sitting on some Sand Viper Speed Disc rims with the tires from the exploded rims. These are my two current runners: imgur.com/a/M0u3rgo
@@TAMIYALegends I don't imagine you'll run in to any issues as long as the wheel spins, which it appears to. With how loose I had to keep the Super Hornet though, I definitely lost a few nuts. In the end though, I feel like a proper set of 2WD rims is the best way to go. Less messing about with spacers, modifications, and nuts flying all around.
Are you going to ever get dt03 cars and are you going to get some legend kyosho cars and then you start getting into Kyosho and then you'll call yourself Tamiya kyosho legends?
@@TAMIYALegends too bad you can't get the prices for them here like that in Canada I know that the scorpion in the United States from kyosho is less than $250 here for that kit that's a nice kit you should really look into all the legendary series of buying them eventually.
