Hi all, do any of you know if there is a narrow front wheel made to fit the Kyosho RB5 SP WC.

Thanks.

There is no narrow front wheel.

Assuming you want to fit stagger ribs or similar.
Cut the inside of the standard 2wd front wheel to the first bead.
I use a big pair of scrissors then trim it to finish nicely.

LOL ... if I ever have to resort to staggers I'd be dismayed at forgetting how to set a car up. I can't stand them, they have no redeeming features to my mind.

I am afraid that I am a a bit stuck in my ways, pins on carpet, slim mini spike everywhere else.
