Sketer Had to replace that wheeilie bar

[HZRDOS]

So, not many options (thinking of making the dementor wheelie bar fit when JRC gets some in stock), but I had to do something to that stock wheelie bar. I hated that single huge wheel.

Cut down the stock one, and modified some Arrma 6s wheelie bar wheels I had laying around. Had to trim the rear bumper a tad, but I think it looks good. Very strong also, and can still adjust the position if I want. Used an M4x30 in each side. Took some work to get the M4 to thread I to the plastic where the M3 screws were, but very solid.

Nice!!
I was planning on putting a skateboard wheel in it at some point (With modding of course), but might do the duel yours looks good!

Nice man, that’ll do!

 

[WoodiE]

Looks like a perfect fit to me!

Had to change the design a bit. Fist pack and bent one of the M4 screws. They were from an Arrma 3s wheelie bar, thought they were 12.9? Maybe. Maybe not.

So special ordered an M4x60 hardened high strength steel and through bolted one wheel. This should not bend since the screw wont have a single point of shear when the wheels hit down.

Plan A failure:

Plan B...this will break the bar if anything. Lol.

Rigid wheelie bars are always susceptible unfortunately.. this is one thing I do like about the T-bone wheelie bars..the have a lot of flexibility in the design. Seems easy enough to make your own from some plastic sheet?
Remove the stock rear skid, make a new one that extends up to where you want the wheels. Then attach a support to the shock tower.

I actually bought a couple of the aluminum bars with wheels from T-bone with the intention of making my own. I bought the wheelie bar they make for the hoss, figured I might as well make the shipping charge worthwhile and added the spare bars to the order..
The T-bone is holding up well on the hoss so far..
Gotta get some sheet plastic so I can fab my own for my MT410..
