Here is an example of the kind of wheels I really want but in black. Of course, you can disregard the silver lip lol. They are stock wheels on my car that I stripped and repainted.

I've copied and traced it and I'll give it to my programmer and see what he says he can do. I don't think it will be a problem. It's funny you ask because 5 and 6 swirl were next on my list.

Of course, I'd need mine in with Mini-Z shaft mounting hole. I'm sending you a PM regarding this.

Gotta have some drift wheels for those of us who want to drift our trucks. I fit them to my bumblebee as well, just no pics. 0 in the front and +2 in the rear.

woah looks really good in black

I'm hoping my wheels end up working, let alone looking that awesome...

Thanks, I'm glad you like them and I'm glad you like them.

Well even though it's a busy Christmas time of year I still had time to make some more.

The first set is a custom (most likely one-off) set of old-school painted steel wheels.



Next is Z-AWD style mounting. (Not 100% done.)



And finally is something I made out of some material I had kicking around that I was going to use for something else but I made these instead.

DUALLYS!!!






Enjoy.

Someone sent me a picture of something and asked if I could make it. I'm still not 100% sure how it's going to work when it's finished but this is a start of something.



Q & C welcome.

[lol]

2 Piece big scale rims?

[reaper]

oooo very close bud

in fact they will probably work just fine after ive had them on my lathe

[GearHeadV8]

beadlocks?

[EvilBenson]

im tryin to make custom rims myself, using prodesktop to design but im struggling with making the d hole for the shaft, dont worry i wont be tryin to sell them on here, they are a very custom set to take lego tyres, the tyres in my thread dedicated to the 4x4 monster themed ride, what design software are you using

They're not my design, but yes I think so.

I'm not using software. I program g-code right at the machine.

Enjoy the pics. They're not perfect but they're a start.




And the reason I tried those is because of these. I thought of something and then tried it and it worked for these so I tried something different, and it worked.





Q & C always welcome.

wait is it supposed to look like brake rotors or....? im kinda lost

[XMDrifter]

it's 2-piece beadlock wheels. that's for the purpose of making sure the tires don't slip off the rim and don't slip around the rim. it solidly fastens the tire to the rim.

[GearHeadV8]

i still dont get how they will work lol they look sick though

[reaper]

you guys got it they are 2 part beadlocks , they still need a little work by me as one part carnt be done with the router xmodcanuck has

but what they will be is "2 part beadlocks with built-in wide axles"

[xmodzracer]

hmm im liking the idea but also keep in mind the amount of wheel slop your average xmod has. no turning this down just saying that the more weight you have the more likely something is to break.

[reaper]

no more weight than any other wheel/tire upgrade superswamper iroks etc

and will be ALOT less likly to break than the wide axles most of those require

[GearHeadV8]

I get it! I would seriously buy a set. Would the swampers work?
