hey man it's so great to getting back into rc after a break from too much work for the past 10 months. I recently found out about your wreck and I'm so glad you seemed to have fully recovered. I have all your esc and motors on my crawlers, keep up the amazing content you give us!
thanks Lefty!!
I used a beadlock compression tool. Cheap and it works. Saves your thumbs.
Just got y'all's new CM mini V3 hooked it up paired with the new team specs the 1800kv M an I luv it. Well done guys Well done!!! Not to mention it was packaged up like fort Knox if only more folks would do that. Thanks again y'all. Have a great rest of the week.
Awesome! Thank you!
Those are the original vxt tires. The vxt2's or the falken's are in a much stickier compound. Also the beadlock screws use a 1/16 driver, so be careful with the 1.5mm. Enjoying watching every video in this series.
That’s good to know, I was trying to use a 1.5 on vanquish wheels
Josh has said it is not necessary to put thread locker on the small bead lock screws.
I've never seen anyone use loctite on rims till now.
I've always used a Itty bitty bit of blue.
Yes…I use blue locktite on like 4-6 on the little outside rim screws …then locktite the hub screws but not the inner locking ring..
Love my Holmes hobbies Motors
I been running Proline's Hyrax tires on a couple of my rigs, love'em.
I got one of those beadlock assembled jig for doing a set of 1.55 wheels cause I had a hell of a time squeeze the rims together as well as alone a screw an screw it in
i get it
John - you have 30 seconds to grab 5 rigs from your room. what 5 do you grab? GO!
A breakdown review of vanquish wheels would be nice I've looked at there website and I just get confused about what all you have to order for a full set of wheels like are they nickel and diming use for every part
Majority of high end wheels are that way. With vanquish you just need to get the hubs an hardware an outer rings
@pastorwilliam6759 I've come to relise that, but their website for picking parts makes no sense like just make a standard rtr kit for wheels like everyone else and the pick every part option
They have a lot of wheels that are ready to go, minus hubs. The OMF are like builders kits though
@HolmesHobbies the hubs are the biggest confusion for me
I've ready the description for them, and I still don't understand. I don't know the measurements for my axles to know the width of them for the outside edge of the tire to tire to know witch hub I want like a label for stock witch hub size an then a positive or negative width or a just simplified stock, wide, extra wide notation would be great for people buying 200$ wheels for there rc that just want a scale licensed wheel
Glad I'm not alone. I have two 55g bags full and counting lol.
I have a team associated MT-12 it has a 380 brushed motor I would like to go brushless what are your recommendations for one of your ESC motor combos It's a monster truck would like a little extra pep in its step
I really liked the tires but couldn’t find a proper seat in most wheels including/especially factory plastics from vp/incision. Old school just threw in a thin coat of paint on wheels and lock rings and allowed it to dry before mounting the tire. 👍🏽 Not a permanent fix as they eventually slipped but they lasted longer and looked cooler with some color splash.
You need to get some BSI blue loctite. It's the best stuff around.
Haver you tried any of the 3D printed tire "FOAMS"?
They are a game changer especially if your rig sees moisture. Even the dewy grass
I have printed a few, and even designed and printed my own, none have worked as well as foams for me
Haha, I thought I was the only one who makes a puddle of blue loctite on the packaging for these kind of tasks.
makes it much easier
Glad to know that they do not use typical 2.5, 2.0 or 1.5mm. Will not be ordering these anytime soon 😂
Locktite on those little screws might not be the best idea if you ever want to change things up.
I've lost too many beadlock screws to risk raw dogging it. Also had them seize up without some threadlock, which is worse imo
I always get beadlocks that are back screwed lol. Way less tiny screws to deal with.
Something I complain a lot about in the workshop, standardisation!! Of screws,bolts,nuts,cable ends and a whole lot more!! It erks me everyday.
Man, I have like 4 spare tires and wheels.
all my beadlocks never use loctite
For as much money as I've given Vanquish, my tires and wheels all come from rc4wd
Next video: give yourself a tattoo to some Electronic music! Since you seem to enjoy pain so much…
hahaha, I may do just that
Im not a fan of plastic in a wheel rather pay the extra and get brass or aluminum.
2539 was not the time cuz you're still adding screws
oh
For as long as Josh claims to have known you. How can this be the first time your are assembling VP wheels? You two have slept together for crying out loud.
I normally just do it off camera.
you don't want vents on a crawler
Depends on the situation. I'd say MOST comp crawlers have vents, recreational crawlers as well. If you have a trail truck or go through a lot of water then you don't want to vent the tires and/or wheels.
For less than the price of a set of Vanquish wheels you can get a set of Probuild wheels who has adjustable offsets and an array of different alternatives of materials, colors and faces, compared to those the Vanquish ones look like a ripoff
Vanquish wheels are a waste of fucking money. Imagine spending hundreds on bead lock wheels that do literally the same as $50. Its all for showing off how much money one fan boy can spend.
I'll gladly buy made in USA when I can afford it. If we don't support companies, they simply won't exist anymore.
@@HolmesHobbies They are completely unaffordable. Borderline price gouging for 400% above the average market. I dont see you guys selling your crawlmasters for $60. See what im getting at? Not only that but they will exist 100%, they dont NEED to mark up their wheels so much, they have more than enough sales elsewhere to stay in business comfortably.
@zsrc3623 maybe you don't price cnc work as much as I do. It's typically 4x to 10x cheaper to make something in China, depending on how terrible the factory is. Vp machines the wheels in California. Hence, cost to manufacture is far higher than the $50 Chinese knockoffs on eBay. It's not price gouging, it's price of manufacturing in the USA with domestically sourced billet. And nobody has to buy it if they don't want to.
On the same topic, you can get a knockoff magnum for $50 or buy one from me for $175. We make them in the US. The knockoffs are Chinese. Nobody has to buy the real deal, but many still do
