Well the drill press didn't make it for the weekend, arrives Mon. Still plenty to do. Need to finish building the shocks (50 centistoke oil, tube mod, 'white' springs with bad horsie covers), dye the wheels black, strap and glue the tires and resolve the slipperential leakage. Not to mention paint the shell.
Pic is a comparison of GT2 tire mounted on inner bead on Rulux 1/2 offset half-ups vs stock Flux wheels. Just a mockup and the tires on the Rulux don't have foam in them but you can see the diff. End result should be a non-ballooning tire with better lateral stability and traction. The lower profile also compresses the crappy HPI foam making it firmer. I would have used the old combo i had which was the same but with GT tires but i wanted something lighter. Stock wheels 300gm, old combo 380gms, new GT2 combo 310gms.
