Who would be interested in 17mm adapters for the crt.5?!?!?

[R00ST]

Here are a few crappy pictures. Sorry my batt is almost dead and I cant locate my charger so I only was able to snap a few (and some are a bit blurry because the flash would not cooperate).

Gives you an idea anyway!

There are some 2.2 knobbies, the tallest/widest ones are the ofna blazer SST stadium tires, and then of course some 20% tread left proline badlands (standard 1/8 buggy wheel/tire).









^^This shows the small gap there is between the adapter and the bearing/hub face. Its quite small (~1mm) but enough to leave a pretty good amount of play once a tire is mounted up. I think im going to just shim it out (not tight but just to kill most of the play).

If I dont hear from Jamie soon im just going to open up the holes on the 3 adapters that are tight, shim up the adapters and start running them! Then he can decide if he wants to retool his design a bit. If it were me I would:
- move the pin hole on the adapter back about 1mm OR include shims
- Figure out the pin diameter needed (like I said one of mine is perfect, other 3 will not fit so I am guessing the 3 just did not have the bit run through them long enough)
- Include O-rings to go over the adapter/pin to keep the pin in place. He included 4 snap ring type deals but they are very stiff and hard to work with. I have used o-rings on adapters like this before and had no problem with o-rings as long as they are wide/tight enough to not move around.

I will update you guys when I can.
