What wheels everyone running?

[Jshaff16]

I was playing musical wheels the other day threw my street tires from dbxl onto my l5b...well turns out the front wheels have been running on turnbuckle ends. There isn't much meat left on the eyelets at all. I believe the wheels I had or currently have even are for a Baja buggy...front? Believe that was closest to stock on my dbxl so that's all I have. Any quick fix? Proper wheels? Add 1" extensions?

I have 5ive wheels on my dbxl, I don't recall any fitment issues, but I also have axle extenders as well.

 

[Jshaff16]

I just remember it was screwy getting wheels for my dbxl everyone recommended either 5ive t or Baja fronts...regardless....that's what I had run on the l5b and now a minor issue. Feel like 1" extenders definitely wouldn't hurt and it'll help any further issues.

 

[Seandonato73]

Yeah I have 1" extenders, it's been fine.

I use L5T wheels on my L5B.

 

[Jshaff16]

I'm going to have to do some research and find out what wheels I actually bought lol. I also (assume) the l5t extenders will work on l5b...don't see why not.

Probably just gonna grab the dark soul extenders and see what happens when they get here. Only ones I can find for l5b

I run stock with 2" extensions, but only on the rearend. Might go down to 1" now that I have extended arms.

 

[Jshaff16]

Everyone is talking about the same vehicle correct...tlr 5b? Have a feeling were on different rigs lol

 

[21bangbang]

Im sure not???

 

[Jshaff16]

Same lol

 

[Seandonato73]

Lol, I was going based on your comment about your dbxl wheels ? as far as I knew (could be wrong) the t and b wheels were the same, just had to watch out for rubbing if using them on the dbxl.

 

[Jshaff16]

That's what I mean it got so confusing way back when I replaced em on my dbxl and have since used them interchangeably I have no idea what I actually have anymore lol. I'm going with the 1" extensions and calling it fixed

Never mind . Didn't realize I was in the L word section.

I use a little bit of them all. Best bet for higher dollar wheel setups is to find some used. Some of my wheel sets I have close to $600 in and I wouldn't see half of that reselling them.

@John Parks I appreciate the insight but when it comes to the hobby it's strictly that...a hobby. My issue with my buggy is I know the tie rod ends aren't supposed to hit the bead lock screws...so was curious what other people with l5b's were running. Trying to find something that won't hit lol. Pretty sure everything I have is for a l5t or Baja fronts

I had that issue???? I put losi 5t rims and it does not happen ?? 5t rims have button head screws and a chamfered bead ring

 

[Jshaff16]

Are those OEM losi wheels Doug?

 

[DougStar]

Yes
