You would need custom adapters like th-1 but with a greater offset. They are about 7mm offset compared d to 870c which fit with th-1 adapters.

Also, it looks like you have 3/16" axles, th-1 were for 1/4" axles.

After seen some Team Suzuki adapters (TS-3) I started to think is it possible to modify some 17mm hex conversion adapters to fit Yokomo wheels.

And there are also some Kyosho (TH-8) adapters available, but those would be for metric bearings. I don't have any experience if you can use 5/16 bearing (~0.06mm difference ) instead of 8mm bearings. ( 3/8 bearings are too loose compared to 10mm).

They are fully compatible :D On front wheels at least. ;)

Yes, I have 3/16" axles. Does anyone know if TH-8 could be used with them?

And the front adapter needs flanged bearings? Are they the same as original RC-10 front wheel bearings?

Looking at pics again I would say TH-8 either is not long enough for these wheels even if it would fit.

OK, I think I will just make some pink dots for AE wheels then. I like them Yokomo wheels but finding adapters looks to be too hard (or expensive).

I made chassis protector out of 0.5mm lexan sheet. If that does not work I will have to find a way to get Mattox one as thy don't ship internationally anymore.
