![]() More pictures to follow with tire testing.My VS4-10 arrived Friday (Amain preorder) and I got to building on Saturday. I also want to thank Eddie at Crawler InNovations for his foam work, I love having foams I don't have to tune and they do what I expect! I am also very impressed with my first impression of the PitBull Rock Beast XOR scale tires. Yes, it takes a little longer, but us scale guys put so much time into our trucks, what is another minute or two to remove a wheel?Īll in all, I am very impressed yet again with Vanquish Products, they continue to raise the bar, and have no trouble making us drool everytime we see the latest that comes out of their shop. Then you get to mount up your wheels just like a 1:1 truck, one lug at a time. Then, you must install your Vanquish SLW style hub to your truck. Next came my favorite scale feature of the wheel, installing them on the Honcho. Then I removed the 3 long assembly screws and replaced them with the final 3 shorter beadlock screws. I then tightened the long assebly screws until I could get the shorter beadlock screws to grab thread, and finished tightening them in a triangle pattern until they were all 3 tight. ![]() Then I took the rear beadlock ring and three of the long assembly screws Vanquish included for ease of installation, and started three or four threads into the wheel.Īfter tightening the screws about half way, I massaged the bead of the tire to ensure it was in the groove of the retainer ring. Next, I lined the beadlock ring up with the threaded holes of the face. I next pushed the face of the wheel into the Rock Beast tires then squeezed the two wheel parts together semi securing the front bead of the tire. To start, I inserted the internal bead retainer ring into the tire with the Crawler InNovations foams holding it in place. The foams to be used, Crawler InNovations DD's I will walk you through the steps I took to secure the bead. I am not going to lie, this wheel was not the easiest Vanquish wheel I have ever put together, but what does that mean? It is no DH that assembles itself, although once you figure out the finess to get the wheel together, it is a walk in the park. Here is the link to the other wheels they are offering. The detail in the cap is amazing with the little VP logo in the center, all the chamfered edges are beautiful, this is no doubt the most detailed scale wheel on the market.Ī high strength plastic internal bead retainer ringĪir relief channel allows free flowing air to escape the wheel if it is drilled to allow venting. The attention to detail in these wheels is AMAZING, Vanquish as we all know makes some of, if not THE BEST beadlocks on the market, and these were no different. ![]() Being an owner of 7 sets of Vanquish wheels, I knew that this set would be as amazing if not more amazing than the rest. ![]() ![]() Well, today was the day that the SSZ-9 wheels that I ordered showed up. In the meantime, I contacted and they hooked me up with some hot new 2.2 scale tires called the Rock Beast XOR. I preordered them as soon as Vanquish would allow it, and anxiously awaited their arrival. Thanks to "El Diablo" at PitBull Tires, and last but certainly not least, thanks to Eddie at Crawler InNovations!!!Īs soon as I saw these wheels listed on the website, I knew I had to order them for the Honcho. First off, thanks to Steve, Jim, Tom, Jenee', Danielle and crew at Vanquish Products. ![]()
