TRX4M Beadlock Wheel Negative Offset

thingiverse

Negative offset beadlock wheels that work with stock Traxxas beadlock insert for stock tires. I just printed <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5687206">this one</a> by kevinbatchelor. Along with the insert, the wheels adds about 3 grams. Depending on how many screws and nuts you put on, you can add quite a bit of weight to this. Requires at least 4 M3 screws and nuts. I'm currently using 4x 8mm and 4x 6mm. 8mm can fit 2x nuts; one on each side of the wheel. 6mm 1x nut. Current weight is 32.5g vs stock weight of 20.7. If we swap the 6mm for 10mm and add 8 more nuts it weighs ~35g. 8x 10mm with 3 nuts per screw nets 37.3 grams. Almost double the stock weight. Negative offset increases clearance with steering linkage. Can likely use Traxxas compatible brass inserts for even more weight, such as the Injora ones that could add an additional 29g per wheel. Note the wheel hex will get stuck when removing the wheel. The inside hole is big enough to push the hex out easily.
