Way to go, but these will only fit the original axles

Decided to get some DHawk Chinese items, since I can’t seem to find any other makers.

That’s what I’m hoping for my super old graphite ten. Figure it’s easier that trying to upgrade the CVs and bother with the hassle of short dog bones!

You will be slightly limited in your wheel choices going with those adapters, if you want to run 2.2 wheels. Offsets of the b4, b5 and b6 wheels are different and will not work properly.

I would suggest you clean your car before working on it, as it's much more enjoyable - a simple "large" paintbrush does the trick just fine 8)

Haaaa FINALLY I GET IT!!! thanks Jeff!!!

(Note: I've never touched a re-re yet... I mean, I have one at home but I haven't opened it yet...)

The adapters will be fine. It's the newer buggy wheels that are the problem. They have more negative offset than the older wheels.

I was hoping to be able to use newer wheels without spending a lot money on the conversion parts...

Do you know any wheels that I would be able to use with the Adapter, Kyosho wheels?

Strange to use a small scale truggy wheel, what do I have to lose. Thanks for the tip!

They are a perfect fit. I use them a lot. You may need a washer, their flange is a little thin.

1/16 scale truggies use 2.2 buggy wheels.

Did I miss the antenna-less receiver change? When did that happen? Do you have to buy a super expensive transmitter to lose the antenna?

The HPI route for the rear is another easy, cheap and good looking solution: https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVPROFIL=&FVSEARCH=Super+star+hpi
JC Racing wheels can be considered as another...
