thought id check before i took the plunge

thanks all.

the rears will i think, but the fronts won't. Pretty sure they are for the CAT, so the fronts are 4WD. Your B4 needs a couple of bearings in each wheel

Look at the part numbers (U6739 & U6740) both on JE Spares website and on Schumachers:

you need these for the couger, same fitment as the b4

Dont know if this help but I bought the Cat fronts by mistake from modelsport and tried them on my B4.1 anyways. It seemed to work really well. My ability is not that great yet though so maybe it would be more noticable once I get better. I am gonna keep running em till they wear out though as they seem fine so far.

So to confirm your saying the preglued schumacher tyres number U6742 rears and the U6755 fronts will fit the B4 perfectly? Bearings and all?

This would be great to know!

Hi sorry if I wasnt clear, the tyres i fitted were not preglued, I bought the tyres seperately and put them on, Also they fit so snug that I didnt require any glue. Had no problems with them slipping the whole evening.

But do the above fit? They look like they do!

Only the rears will fit.

whats wrong with the fronts?

That is what modelsport gave me, they are not supposed to go on the b4.1 Fronts as the normal tyres are slightly slimmer. That said the tyres fit onto my b4.1 front wheels with no problem and they were working out fine for me when racing.

The pre-glued wheels wont fit the front of your b4.1 (as they have diffrent fittings) but if you get the tyres onlys they will fit on your wheels no problem.Just need to boil the old tyres off, was dead easy when I did it.

Have attached a pic (i think if i did it right lol) for you to see what they look like.

yes they do.


wrong!!

the couger front wheels DO fit a B4 and B4.1 as they use Ball Bearing 3/16x3/8 which is same size as the b4

i dont want to buy the fronts and find they dont fit

Well I've been a dunce and ordered the couger front pre-glued wheels. I check them tomorrow, but by the looks of it they wont fit...it would be interesting to see if they don't, whether the tyres will fit the wheels i already have.

Best bet if you want the wider tyres for the front is just buy the tyres and boiled your old fronts off and fit them strait on, as I said there so snug mine didnt need glueing.

Or do what i did, I wanted a set of wheels for outdoors and one for indoors. So i bought the wheels and the tyres seperate and glued the schueys on the new wheels which i use for indoors.

I understand if your a lil apprehensive about doing it at first, I was the same and searched round like crazy trying to get a pre glued option which seems impossible for 2wd. So in the end I braved it and glued/boiled myself, glad I did now tho as im not scared to do it again so will save money in long run.

ok my last try here. They DO fit.

Yes they WILL fit


He does NOT want wide tyres he want pre glued and the cougar ones fit a b4 or b4.1

I was talking about the wheels btw, and they dont fit. The tyres would fit the normal B4 wheels, but thats niether here nor there since the tyres they are attached to don't fit.

thought so :thumbdown:

Why is no one listening to what Mark keeps saying ?

He's telling you that they will fit for definate and i'm pretty sure, if he says it will, it will.

Also, as been as you rekon the fronts won't fit, why ?

They were made to 'Industry Standard' if i remember the wording correctly. Which in other words, we made them the same as the B4, so all you B4 users don't have to buy loads more wheels.

They take they same size Bearings and obviously as the majority use Schumacher Tyres on their B4's, i would imagine their own tyres fit their own wheels without any problems...

Just my understanding....

Did you order U6755 or U6741?
The first one fits the cougar/B4, the 2nd are for the Cat/B44 only.

Are we talking about the same wheels? These are for a 4wd Cat, so they dont have the space to fit any bearings.

Mat, I don't think you are talking about the same wheels!
U6755 is the one Mark was saying should be ordered and will fit the front of the B4 (for minipins) do you have U6741?

I must have, it doesn't matter too much though. I've bought myself tyres and getting the stock tyres off of the wheels that came with the car so I dont absolutely need them.

So, does anyone have a B44 and want some front tyres? lol

Dear me. If you order the wheels in my first post I linked to they will fit a b4. If you want to order the wrong ones and get cat wheels then obviously they won't fit a b4.

I guess that's somin only someone who does not listen would do.

I ordered them before I read this thread, I wish I had though :)

Sorry for the confusion guys. I think I'll need to get to grips with gluing my own tyres up in the future. lol

Pleased we got there in the end.
Your other option is to get a b44 to use ur tyres up :D

Don't tempt me lol

so can we confirm the links that the wheels will fit the b4 for others reading this :thumbsup:
