OpenRC -> RC18 wheel adapter by AustinDavid

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I love the OpenRC wheels but I want to use 'em on my 1:18-scale RC18 and HPI Mini Recon truggy. This hub adapter + spacer will easily snap onto an OpenRC wheel (printed at 56%) and make it work with a 1/18-scale truck or buggy.

Details / HOWTO:
1) print out 4 sets of the hub adapter & spacer; PLA is fine. I like a hard TPU for the spacer, like NinjaTek Cheetah or Armadillo.
2) pick your favorite 1:10 wheel & tire, print those in the material of choice, like NinjaFlex
3) drill out the hub's center (axle) hole to 1/8"
4) rather than screwing the hub to the tire, just glue it in
5) put the spacer on the outside, the hub adapter on the inside, and slide it onto your axle
6) tighten it up with the original nylock nut.
