Thanks for watching! The stamped steel wheels, regardless of brand, are a nightmare to work on. I have had success working on a glass table so that I can look down and see when the holes are aligned. One tip is to use a paper clip to help keep them lined up. Stick the paper clip through one or two holes, then start threading another. But regardless, they’re pretty frustrating. Worth it though!

I like the look of the wheels that you have mounted to the vehicle. So I know that they are the Injora stamped steel beadlocks. I looked on the website and they have a black version and a dark gray version. Do you happen to know which ones you have on the vehicle? I noticed the one you grabbed to demonstrate look darker than the ones mounted to the vehicle. On Amazon they have both the black and the dark gray but the dark gray is like a month out for delivery so I just want to be sure I'm getting the same ones that you have on the vehicle. If you can remember which ones you purchased I would appreciate it. Thank you

Thanks for watching! I will look into that.
17:50, i wonder if reversing those rims does not but too much leverage on the axles, i just realized that one axle is bent after only running three battery loadings in the living room. I think those axles really are the number one weak point but was also wondering if it is a good idea to reverse those deep dish rims. (Ordered YR replacement axles, will see if it happens again)

It’s very possible. The axles do bend pretty easily unless you get upgraded units. I bent my hot racing ones pretty quickly but my rcawd and mofo RC ones have held up well.

Hi, I just upgraded my deadbolt scx24 with rcgf axel, before I installed it then it was working just fine... After the installation, it is going backwards... If I pull the trigger it goes rear if I push the trigger it goes front... Somebody knows how to fix it
I have a set of Injora deep dish steelies like your gladiator, and I have always hated working on them (I bought the RC4WD ones thinking I might have an easier time, no luck). Do you have a trick to working with them? I got really fed up and went with some SSD wheels, but no possibility of flipping them unfortunately. Great video, dude. This is invaluable information for those starting out.

Thanks for watching! The stamped steel wheels, regardless of brand, are a nightmare to work on. I have had success working on a glass table so that I can look down and see when the holes are aligned. One tip is to use a paper clip to help keep them lined up. Stick the paper clip through one or two holes, then start threading another. But regardless, they’re pretty frustrating. Worth it though!

@@bcochener maybe its relative? those were my first wheel, and I struggled with it on day 0. then i bought some beadlocks from SSD and i could take them apart in my sleep. im just not super good at dealing with small stuff. I eventually figured out the paperclip method (or really the M1.4 bolt method as the steelie bolts are bigger), but I'd still say the SSD wheels are easier to handle. the 1.9" guys have tools to get their beadlocks on (i know because I bought one before I realized it was for a different wheel size entirely (again, I was new)). why hasn't anybody come out with one for us?
hey Adam question? I'm at the beach right now and I was going to do a video on my fcx24 on the beach but before I could I was driving it around the yard and house and my servo horn rounded out, so the servo turns but I doesn't grab the horn is there an upgrade or something I can do like an upgraded horn or just a whole new steering servo setup like from injora?
@CapeCrawlers

My sons is starting to round out too. The tooth count on the stock FMS servo isn’t the same as an Emax I don’t think, but there are still aluminum upgrades out there if you want to put a new horn on the stock servo. The Emax servo will fit in the tray I believe, so you can do an Emax upgrade with the aluminum horn.

Those RC4WD wheels are REALLY difficult to assemble (I actually gave up and threw them in the trash). Just advice to others that there may be better options (ie Injora)
So i bought the treal rc wheel weight/ hex extension and im having trouble fitting it with my rc4wd wheels. Any tips?
@CapeCrawlers
Жыл бұрын
The rc4wd wheels, especially the stamped steels, are notoriously hard to get hex extensions in. I have to use a rubber mallet and/or maximum effort to get them seated. I’ve heard of folks very slightly grinding down the hexes to get them to fit more smoothly, but out of the box they are a TIGHT fit.

I like the look of the wheels that you have mounted to the vehicle. So I know that they are the Injora stamped steel beadlocks. I looked on the website and they have a black version and a dark gray version. Do you happen to know which ones you have on the vehicle? I noticed the one you grabbed to demonstrate look darker than the ones mounted to the vehicle. On Amazon they have both the black and the dark gray but the dark gray is like a month out for delivery so I just want to be sure I'm getting the same ones that you have on the vehicle. If you can remember which ones you purchased I would appreciate it. Thank you

@@CapeCrawlers yes I like the look of those dark gray ones also. The Injora website calls them gunmetal. One other thing I've been searching around for those chrome cvd axles that you recommend in the video. The link in the description takes me to a website with no option to purchase and I can't seem to find them anywhere else. Do you think they have been discontinued? If they are better than the others and the ones that you recommend I would like to purchase those. Do you know where else I can get them? Or an alternative of the same quality?

Yikes! That sounds like something is over tightened. Wheel nuts maybe? Stock motors are weak, but the portals should cause enough drag to damage motors. When you change the motors, are you possibly over tightening the nut on the transmission gear? I was doing this on my c10 and went threw multiple motors before I figured it out.

the Injoras don't add as much width than the RC4WDs, very little difference when reversed - damn just noticed that i had ordered the wrong ones, i ordered "negative offset" because it had a big red banner "deep dish" on the picture but those are the ones that sit in the middle, theres another variant that seem to be like the RC4WDs.

You’re correct: the claimed deep dish ones don’t have the same benefits when reversed. The regular stamped steel Injoras behave just like the rc4wd wheels. Too many choices!
