Ive converted mine to pin drive and i now use cat wheels.
d4 wheels fit the front front fine but you have to play with the rears a bit..

How was the rear pin conversion done,i toyed with the idea and used turned down xx4 rear washers with the standard pin on standard shafts but not sure if this is correct.
the fronts i had to much play in when using b44 hexes,how did you do it?

Haven't tried yet but I'm guessing the Lazer Hex is a little deeper?? hence the need for a washer. Will try and check the difference between the Lazer and Kit hex. Unless someone already knows?

I find the lazer ones fit fine but you have to drill the holes out a touch.

Thats what i thought as i could do with another set for mine

Two reasons I would imagine.
1: most people who have raced for a few years have dozens of pin type wheels so it makes sense to use these for the rear which means the fronts don't match. 2: the kit wheels only come spoked and not only do people tend not to like spokes but they flex too which can cause problems with handling. Just my opinion |

Alec is right on bothe counts.
I have a hauler bag full of pin/b44 hex wheels so why waste them The spoked ansmann wheels i found flex way to much,spin them up on the car and watch the shapes they go

Mine had smooth dished white wheels from kit

As far as I'm aware all x4 and x4TE kits (4wd) come with spoked wheels, all 2wd kits have dished wheels as standard, if I'm wrong I stand corrected

I found kit wheels crack round the hex
