tlr22 too wide with minipins

[pesky badger]

Tried to fit my 22 in the BRCA mid south region "official box" the other day with Schumacher minpins and it was just too wide at the rear to move without restriction. Has anybody else found this and how did you sort it (i've got 3.5 toe on the back)?

Hi there,this is my first season with the 22,tried mine as standard with the yellow wheels and schue green mini pins on the front and ballistic greens on the rear in our official mid west box 250mm width brca box in it fitted with room to move.I did try some older kyosho wheels and other hex wheels and they were fine,you haven't got the extra with alloy hexes on have you.Hope this helps. jon

pesky badger, are you running stock hexes?

Never had a problem with mine in the east of england box and I ran the +1.5mm hexes all last year although I haven't tried on mini-pins, but was fine with mini spikes, ballistic spikes and Dboots.

The hexes are standard - the problem is only with Schumacher minipins because the tyre carcass overhangs the wheel rims and puts it right on the width limit (or rather, a fraction over).

I even tried old xxx rims with the hexes removed, but the width remained the same.

As crazy as it sounds you may be right, my toe in gage has a legal width check feature and with Schumacher mini pins it is coming out really borderline. It suspect it would be tight in a box of the gage's width.

I've never checked before, I don't race outside my local club...

That's with 4 degree and it looks like it is just narrowly over legal, perhaps 3 deg or less toe in it would be OK?
