destroyer wheels on fg stadium ,, trimmed shell,, pics up

[scotty1986]

hi all

ive just put a set of destroyer wheels on my fg (they look awesome) but my body is catching on the wheels ,, i dont really want to cut the shell up,, so what options do i have ,, i either need to make the truck wider or raise the the shell,, i would really like to raise the shell but cant see how as my body already sits at the top of the body post ,,

any way im looking for a quick or cheap fix ,, or even better free,,

if you have any ideas let me know cheers

now done heres pics

make your own mount extenders?

[scotty1986]

how bud

[reggy72]

find a suitable material either a plastic or alloy at a suitable diameter, cut to the desired length, drill your ideal mounting height holes, drill out your existing mounts and fix into the mounting points with either self tappers or tap and die if using alloy, thats what I'd do. worth a shot.

would i be able to extend the flat spot on the stub axles and move the square and shim it up with a bearing ???

[Gaz201]

yeah you would be okay doing that at the front bud no power go's to the front they just get pushed along it would be fine

[scotty1986]

sweet although i may do it at the back too

[rctruckz]

the tires on the FG monster (bigfoot) which are similar size to the destroyer also rub on the front wishbones of the MT chassis, make sure you setup the EPA to avoid this & also make sure your using steering stoppers

as for the shell rubbing, my son wants a stadium shell for his FG but wants to keep the bigfoot tires so im just gunna chop the shell up so it fits neatly

just done it bud ,, cut my arches out tp and it look sweet ill stick some pics ,, my tires only just rub now ive spaced them out

[Mike1970]

If you're using the FG 17mm squares, they will only fit on the front - best to use the touring car axles with the 2 circlip grooves. The widest you can go on the rear is 14mm.

[scotty1986]

just using the standard squares bud with a mod,, ill stick a few pics up later ,, now its got the destroyer wheels on and ive extended the arches it just looks mean

[rctruckz]
