What's the deal with 1/2 offset wheels
Ok I get a used Jammin X2 CRT and don't know what wheels to buy I read somewhere that this truck use 1/2 offset wheels but can't find any 1/2 offset mounted wheels.Can I use 0 offset wheels?What's the difference?

Hey bud, i am with you. I have been using Losi 8-T 1.0 version wheels. As these losi 1.0 are retiring, sometimes you will get good deals at the local hobby shops.

I have a new set (maybe 2 sets) of Losi 8T 1/2 off white wheels and tires.
Also have alot of Proline M2 holeshots on yellow 1/2 offsets all new. PM me if anyone is interested, will make a good deal. :nod: |
I have a set of white proline 1/2 offset wheels only. Pm me if your interested.

Couldn't the OP install some wider hub hexes that would allow using the zero offset stuff?

Do the extesions and be done with the 1/2 offset. You break a rim , strip a hex or want to buy a working tire rim combo off your neighbor you will have a better shot because most trucks today are setup for 0 offset.

To answer your question, the "off set" is in reference to where wheel hex is on the rim. 1/2 off set is in the middle of the rim while "0" off set is on the outside. To add to the rubbing on the arm as mentioned, If you were to run "0" off sets your truck will not be as wide and IMO look silly too.
Thanks everybody for the links. So if I use 1/2 offset wheels with stock setup would be the same than 0 offset wheels with extenders?There is any advantage of running extended hubs other than be able to find wheels easier(o offset)or there is another advantage. Thanks all for the help here LOL. |
