That is what I do, I keep different width hexes in my box (and 14mm also) since I have such a mix of wheels. I think the front Schumacher rims are pretty close, but the rear are visibly narrower. The PR ones were wider but usable.

The amount of thread showing on the drive shaft sticking out of the wheel is very different, the actual difference in total width of the car isn't that much.

Bought some schumey pre glued rears for mine, lad borrowed them and did a check on the difference, was only a couple of mm narrower at most. Managed to get a 10 pack of rears now, so panic over!

If anyone breaks the rr hanger at the screw hole please post it up here.
Great ly appreciated

Think its best this does not continues on this forum .
Bent is very helpful and Hate to see him stop helping people because someone has a grudge

It wont from my side

Must be said he seems very helpful chap to be fair I haven't broken anything on my car and love it :)

Agreed, This thread and the FB page have been very helpfull.

Mines been strong, I hit a corner weight Holding the track down at the BWOC last weekend and it didn't break, believe me they break cars :D

Yeah they do ross , i also hit a corner weight at the BWOC ( even before the race had started!! ) resulted in a broken shock shaft , exspected something to break , nothing wrong with the car atall :wub

But as everyone has said bent is a top man , always willing to help either on here or facebook .
This is all because someone broke theyre car , and are blaiming the car , but sometimes its the nut holding the wheel on!

On the strength of this car...recently I was racing indoors on low grip carpet and towards the end of the qualifying (4th round) the rear minipin tyres were pretty much bold. I applied the brakes at the end of the straight and the car went straight on into the wall! It actually flipped up because I went into the corner at the end of the straight too fast. I was expecting some damage, but nothing not even a mark on it apart from the wing looks a little worse for wear! amazing.

ohh gutted :(

Oh yes i was !! Was tottaly my fault , car was wicked tho . , and the xb4 was a beast on sunday :wub:woot::thumbsup:

Hey Bent, Sorry if this has been asked before but if I wanted to use the dirt spec gearbox on my carpet spec car, what parts would I need ?.

....

Has anyone bought the Ali rear hubs ? The advert shows 2 in the picture but only 1 comes in the packet ?

I did, expected 2 got 1. Was non more left in stock either lol. Sorted now tho.

So are you meant to get 1 or 2 :D

Just got my xb2 and studying the manual.

Is there no way to mount an aerial tube with this car?

Also, how are people finding the springs? I find it strange xray would include such soft springs in a carpet car? By the comparison chart the rears work out about 2.0ibs..similar to an AE green

What thickness is the weight?

Re. What thickness is the weight
 

Don't know but fits in the car without needing to modify anything

I got mine yesterday. Started building it last night and I should have it finished tonight. I aways thought they looked very similar to the YZ-2 but after building it I've realised it's quite a bit different.

Hi
I'm looking for some tyre/wheel advice please.
I race indoors on a track that is mix of carpet and polished floor.
On my 4wd I run yellow pini pins with medium inserts all round.
What front tyre is recommended please, and do I cut the rim? And do I use an insert?
Thanks
