Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / November 2005Wabash Wheels
Anyone seen them fitted to a Sav? I hear they have no offset and as such foul on the shocks - anyone know if this is true? Apparantly fitting Revo wheels to the Sav gives the same problem. Anyone?

This caused the Revo tires (cant find any other tires for revo wheels, they have a strange tire size) to foul against the a-arm and steering rods at the front. I've ordered a set of wide sustension arms to fix this and the shock mount problem on the old ones (crap design, keep stripping the holes). Anyway, if the Wabash wheels are the same as Revo ones then its a 7mm offset difference and its towards the center of the truck. HTH Cheers Dre >> Anyone seen them fitted to a Sav?

Apparantly fitting [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > I think i'm gonna go with dishes to be fair - the idea of running no offset > offends me ;) Truck has to be as low and wide as possible :D For sure! I'm only persisting cause I have the option to run longer suspension arms so I'm actually gaining a couple of mm each side. Plus the Revo wheels look heaps better than the stock E-maxx ones (imo)... Cheers Dre Go to 17mm... I just did on my Sav and put Ofna full offset rims and Proline Bowties on! Skate Yer Truck! =) > I think i'm gonna go with dishes to be fair - the idea of running no offset > offends me ;) Truck has to be as low and wide as possible :D > Go to 17mm... > I just did on my Sav and put Ofna full offset rims and Proline Bowties on! > Skate Yer Truck! =) Nah dude, i'm medically addicted to 40 series, so it has to be 23mm or 14mm - and i've killed enough 14 to make me go to 23! Dishes and Dirt Hawgs it is :-) SignatureDan > > Go to 17mm... > > I just did on my Sav and put Ofna full offset rims and Proline Bowties on!

Dishes and Dirt Hawgs > it is :-) Can I ask a stupid question (only cause I dont have my Savage manual handy), is 14mm the stock size wheel hub? Cheers Dre >> > Go to 17mm... >> > I just did on my Sav and put Ofna full offset rims and Proline Bowties [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > handy), > is 14mm the stock size wheel hub? Yea (i think).
