Jc Racing 5 spoke wheels for Worlds Car

Post by NickTheGreek »

A brother needs some help over....
....Figuring out how to put em on the Gold Tub was kinda easy, if you know what I mean.

Basically, what parts do I need in the front and back to make them fit on the Worlds Car??

I've looked at threads on similar topics on here, but haven't been able to figure out exactly what I need for this specific car, not knowing the differences in parts between models.
If someone can make my (rc) life easier, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Nick

Those 5 spoke wheels are made for the 1/4" axle in the back. The worlds car has a 3/16" axle and wont work. If you insist on using those wheels. You will probably need to get the MIP 1007 CVD kit and 4 3/8x1/4 bearings.

Most people get the Rulex wheels from jconcepts. Since its a 3/16 axle, you have a wide range of wheels to choose from too.

just get the set for the b3 and swap out the front wide axles for the standard rc10 aluminum axles (6221 i think).

Thanks for the responses/info!!

Yeah, JC is a good brother....I had went back n forth with him a couple of times by email regarding him forgetting to give me a tracking # and the status of my order and he couldn't have been nicer.
I told him I'd be giving him more of my business in the future......and now I know what to order. (B3 wheels....4-5 sets)
So thanks again for the replies.

By doing that, would I be using the wheels for the b3 in the rear and the wheels made for the gold tub in the front??

other than the outside diameter and bearing sizes, the front rc10 buggy rims didn't really change until the b4. that's when the width and offsets changed.

I was just looking at a b3 manual online......
I'm gonna assume it would be the 3/8x3/16.......I just don't have too much confidence in my rc related assumptions....
Thanks again for the help.

Edit: Gomachv, I just noticed your response. Unbelievable, my assumption was right.

Being that there seems to be an issue with the length of the CVAs that came with the worlds car, will those Thunder Tiger Pheonix CVDs do the trick (as far as being a lil longer) .....If so, will th Jc b3 wheels fit right on those??
I'm thinking/hoping the answer is "yes and yes" ....but it doesn't hurt asking....

Also, with the different axles in the front, do I need to change the steering blocks??
