Are you mounting the rear wheels flipped in so front and rear track the same?

hello i dont know to be honest how would you sugest i put them on to the rear axales

The rear wheels go on the opposite way around of the front wheels, the same way you would duals, but without the inner wheel. This leaves the rear brake drums inboard of the wheels, which looks a bit odd from behind, but does keep them cool. The single rears use the same lug nuts as the front. If your valve stems point the wrong way, you should be able to loosen and turn them (mine are a "bolt on" type affair).

Cheers

M813RC: that might one of the nicest USMC M813A1s that I've ever seen. Nice truck!

Thanks Bruce! It was in super mechanical shape when I got it, all I did was change the belts and put in new batteries, then drove it 200+ miles home. Cosmetically wasn't as pretty, but some elbow grease and paint work wonders. I left as much original as I could though.

Cheers
