ADVICE RE LONGER AXLES FOR CC01 / XC

[CARRERA]

Hi all,

I have a CC01 Jeep that I want to use the 12mm hexs on to get a wider track width. The wheels i'm using don't allow for the wheel nut to go on as the thread on the axle isn't long enough.

Does anyone know what drive shafs/cups have a longer shaft to allow me to do this?

Many Thanks.

For the front, you could use the red Hotshot steering knuckles and axles off the TA02W (wide) chassis (see parts for 58165)..

For the rear, you may have to look at the wide axle kit for the Axial crawlers.

Junfac make 'barrel nuts' that might work, but you may have to drill out the wheel and hex; http://www.junfac.com/shop/index.php?main_...7823d5cd08985bb

Hi,

From your post it sounds like you want to use specific wheels which you already have, if not, you can do like I have and use the Topcad wheels with adjustable offset.

Thanks for the info and replies, appreciated.

Never seen the Junfac parts, but as you say may need drilling, etc.

Ref the Topcad's, I used these once on a F350 High Lift and the spacers were great.

I'm wanting to fit RC4WD 'steeley's'. I have put the original hex's back on but now when i tighten the nut on the wheels go tight and don't want to turn? Strange. Need to investigate....

Even with the original hex's, it doesn't give the track i want.

You've not lost the cross pin from the driveshaft have you?

I had a TA01 that did this, took me a while to figure it out.

Had the same problem with some Integy beadlocks I was using on my CC01. The back of the wheels were binding on the steering knuckle. To solve the problem I put a couple of thin washers (additional offset of maybe 2mm) between the hex and the wheel. It's close, but it just clears the knuckle and the wheel turns fine.

UPDATE......

Well, i have finally had time to investigate the 'binding' of my wheel.

Ii appears that when i removed the hex, the four little pertruding parts of plastic on the rear of the hex (the side that the pin goes in) were lomger than the other three? The original 'Pajero/Hilux' rims never fouled up but for some reason this 'odd' hex was causing the problem. I checked the other three hex's; two had shorther 'bits' the other one had the same 'longer' pertruding parts. This was on the near side rear and rotated ok. So. i put the hex's with the shorther bits on the front and the hex's with the longer bits on the rear. Amd hey presto!, all wheels turn ok!

Never come across this before but i thought I would update the thread in appreciation of your advice.

Cheers.

Those longer ones belong on the fronts if I remember correctly and there is even a little warning in the build manual. Of course, I didn't read it and found this out the hard way.
