I used current b4 diff bearings on the rear, and old school smaller flanged on the front.

They are losi step pin tires. fronts seem a little hard to find, I have been looking for some for a while. Rears are silver, so not that soft.

Traxxas makes a front tire almost identical to that one, in fact, I thought it was.

Will the Associated "Yokomo" packaged (HOT LAPS) Tires fit? They look like they are 2.2 TR36S as an example... I have 3 sets, NIP and have been trying to find them a home.

Can someone post the size of the bearings for the front (the older flanged) and the rear (the b4 style). I want to place an order.

Thanks!!

I am pretty sure they are the same size, just flanged and unflanged. 5/32 X 5/16. You could actually use unflanged on the front, but might need to use more spacers. As well, you could actually use the flanged on the rear. This is the size I used, it is a inside b4 diff bearing. The bearing has about 1mm play inside the inner rim. And fits snug on the rear axle. Hope this helps

original rc10 front wheel bearings are 3/16" x 5/16" flanged. rear hubs for b2/b3 are 3/16"x 3/8" unflanged(with 3/16" axles). B4 can have either the same as b2/b3, or a larger outer bearing.

I'm quoting myself cause I still want to know. :) The front wheels need some sort of spacer on the back, are you guys stacking up washers? or putting an extra bearing back there.

The inner diff bearings are 5/32x5/16 on the B-4.
