parts list to convert re-release Worlds car to B5(hex)wheels

Post by stulec52 »

Hey guys,
this might of been covered already, but I couldn't find it.
I have a Worlds re-release car all built and ready to race, but as my other racer is a B5M, I would love to share wheels and tires, if that's possible

is there a conversion parts list?
thanks

This thread doesn't answer your question exactly but it will have lots of useful info. It's long but worth the read.

The main problem you're going to run into isn't that the B5 wheels are hex drive, it's that the offsets are very different.

thanks for that.
I guess you are right, getting the correct width is the issue
Things like arms, turnbuckles, driveshafts, axles etc would need to be changed
might be more trouble than it's worth :-)

But, I know it must be possible

Hey Stu, this Niki's mod for hex on the 91 car, It will work for any pan type RC10 as well.

thanks Rod
I'm building up a couple of cars in the hopes we get to race some indoor off road :-)

Hi,
Other option is to use NIX63551 arms and B4 bones. This way you can use Worlds Car hubs and bearings from the kit.
In this mod suspension layout isn't "Worlds Car" anymore as outer hinge pin moves out.

With hub NIX63652 Rod pointed out suspension layout stays original.
