Tamiya 201 XMW Kit

[guinness]

Guys ...I been trying to find a set of ally wheel hex that are not made by tamiya (impossible to find easily) that would fit the rear shaft ,any of you are currently have a set that fits?any links ? Do u selling it ?
Thanx

[Nissemon]

I'm using Proline AE B4 front hexes in the rear on my xmw. Used AE FT rollpins with a little piece of shrink wrap where it goes through the wheel axle and an additional 0.4mm spacer next to the existing 1mm spacer. Ends up being 0.2mm wider per side than plastic Losi hexes.

ok i went down to the hobby shop i went through all the hexs they had and i find a match.....Associated B4 rear hex ...they clamp with a bit of dremmel work SORTED

[SiR_Dave]

Looks like if your going to use the rear clamping hex from the B4... it might be a little wide to where it might not allow for enough of the nut to lock down..? have you tried the front ones yet.?? from the B4

[guinness]

I filed most of the lip at the back of the hex and enlarge slightly the gap for the pin, they fit good.
I believe that using the front thinner hex's will allow the wheel rim to touch the bearing and the hub?

What batteries fit trf201xmw chassis?

[guinness]

Saddle packs ....or full pack if using a low profile servo.😀

Are this supposed to remove the slop at the top of the shocks ???looking at the prices they must be gold plated

Shortys, saddles or sticks all fit.

It is made for saddles tho, there are no further holes in the chassis to move the battery brace posts or to fit a battery stop like the conversion XM has.

So if you want to fit a shorty or stick you might have to drill holes to fit something to stop the lipo moving around.

They do on the small bore shocks.

In my experience, those, combined with the alu shock caps on the big bores only wears things out faster.

Using shorty is a problem because the battery holder it covers the + - connectors, but a full lipo size is OK it doesn't move mate.

Yes I can see your point of view ,maybe some heat shrink around the the bushing to remove play ??

Will the B5 hexes fit using the same process?
