Yokomo Wheels On B44?
I wasn't sure exactly where to put this, but I wanted to know if there are/were any wheel adapters available that would make it possible to mount the old-style Yokomo 4WD wheels on a B44? Team Suzuki, Hot Trick, etc.?
After looking at the B44 instruction on AE's website, I see it uses hex-drive front and pin-drive rear axles. Does anyone know what mm hex and what size rear axles it uses? So could I use rear RC10-to-Yokomo adapters for the rear and Kyosho-to-Yokomo hex adapters for the front or something similar?
Or is there anyone out there that has done this already? I'm really itching to buy a B44 and I absolutely hate the look of the 2.2" wheels. Plus, I think a B44 would look awesome with a set of Yoke dished wheels and pin spikes.
I don't have the tools or ability to machine/mill parts, so bolt-on's are what I'm looking for.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Yokomo Wheels On B44?
the B44 uses some pretty deep offset wheels, you'd probably have to use late yz10 wheels (not 870c), so you won't really get a dish wheel without violating max width rules.
I beleive the hex up front is 10mm. you can use the rulux spoke wheels on the B44 which look sweet.

Re: Yokomo Wheels On B44?
Thanks, man!
I'm not worried about width rules because I'm not racing.
I did find one place that lists the hexes as 9.5mm, so I'll probably have a hard time finding any adapters.
Anyone know the inner diameter of the Yoke hubs and axle diameter?
