Default Wheel Compatibility

Ok folks - I hope this is a reasonably straightforward question; Which types of wheels are compatible? i.e - Losi - Associated? Hot Bodies? Aero? Is there a 'standard' design nowadays (e.g. offset)?

Thanks oople buddies

b44, bj4, xx4, xxx4, 501x, durga, s4, acb44 all use std losi style fitment aka hex front and pin rear.

HB use a hev front and a hex rear i think it might be the same as as the yoke hexs but dont quote me on that.

And kyosho use some huge hevs like touring car hex's.

not entirely true Ash,

the B44 (and possibly Yokomo) use a deeper front Hex than the 'losi' style used on the Losi and the BJ4 etc..

though there seems to be a 'standard' developing, they are not all 100% compatable yet.

Kyosho and Hotbodies both use 12mm hexes. I think the wheels have a slightly different offset though.
