Conversion to Losi/AE/Tamiya wheels

[TRF_Tastic]

For those of you out there that want to use Losi/AE/Tamiya wheels for your D4, I have found that the Tamiya front Hex fits with a little clearancing, this allows the use of a full set of Losi fitting wheels to be used.

As I havent found any of the front conversion kits listed in the manual, this is the next best thing.

Thats good to know, but the Hot Bodies part no is HB61499 for the proper part. Hope this helps?

Cant find anywhere that stocks it, so had a look into the spares box!!

The HB part to fit Losi front wheels are now in stock at Mirage.

They should be available from model shops now, as Griff says they are part number HB61499.

O.k. so I'm confused as my kit came with the hex wheel hubs, part number 61499 and it say's on page 41 of my manual that if using Team Associated or Losi wheels to remove this part and fit the supplied spacers between the rear upright and the pin. With the front there's no need to add spacers simple remove the hex hub and fit the wheel?

Graham, there is an optional hex for the front to convert to the Losi fitting, as most of my wheels are of this type then that is what I will use.

Leigh, I wasn't being funny I just assumed that there was one set of hex's bu thte ones that come in the kit are a different part number. I've placed my order for a set of these hex's having just got the optional rear uprights, one way, springs, one way etc.
Just one word of caution for those as thick as me, the optional rear toe blocks don't come with the bushings that you have to glue in. There are no spares in the kit so I've had to go back and order the bushings.
