I just can't resist posting. This is an exact replica with all dimensions proportional to my 02 rim. It took 1 day to design for manufacturing, 1 day to create the toolpaths about 35 operations, 1 afternoon to CNC mill, manually lathe, dremel (balance), and polish. Now if I just had another 4 day weekend!

 

 

dude that is pimp! i wish i had the mad skillz to do that!

 

ya same here...i'll take one of those

 

You made what? The front 01-02 rim? If so.... That is some chit !

 

 

OMG that is sweeeet. I wasnt able to find any 01 wheels for mine so i got some that look like the 00 wheels, but dang that is VERY nice.

 

 

Man that is awesome! Forget the wheel, tell me some more about the RC !

 

Thanks guys!

It is an HPI Nitro RS4 2 racer, modified to the max. It has every available option. I even made the chassis. Kind of serpent like. The rim is 6061-T6 aluminum. I got to looking at the RC truck and wish that I had nicer rims on it. I couldn't even find the 00 rims. But billet is the way to go.

The pic doesn't do it justice. I'll post a closer shot tomorrow with the tire off. It's so cool looking that I want to put the rim in glass or something, and take it to work.

 

Dang, that is just beautiful. Great work!

That new rim is sweet. Next time I make it out your way I'll have to see that thing run!

 

OMG!!!! thats sweet!!!!!!!!

 

Dewd, tell me you will make me a set of 4 for my RS4 pro!

 

i have the shumacher nitro fusion with with an hpi lightning body.I would pay to have a set of those made for mine.I had my neighbor who is a cop clock mine at 82 mph on my residential street. Thats an 800 mph lightning if it was built to scale with an 2500 hp engine.
