thank u

[jonathan may]

i belive durango front wheels fit as well someone please confirm

[luniemiester]

I'm running dex210 front rims as the staggers fit better when I narrow the rims. They are a tighter fit too compared to the stock wheels which need shimming to take out the end float

If you want to use hex wheels, put some B-Max 4 wheel spacers BM-011S instead of the thick wheel spacers on the axle, insert the pin and use some B4 hex adapters. I'm using the Pro-Line ones, and all AE/Kyosho hex wheels fit.

You need to submit this to Petit RC in the tips and tricks section! This is something every person needs to know.

Yeah great tip....just done this so i can use same rears as my 44.2

Durango fronts are a straight fit.

[zzztech]

yeah, confirmed DEX210 front are a fit. Same size bearings 10x15x4mm

[mekios]

Another tip for the rear, is leave everything as is (leave blue spacer in place and pin) and put a B4 front hex adapter (Jconcepts is what i tried). Measured offsets and it's absolutely the same.

anybody found a way to get Durango 14mm rears to fit?

Use the original Durango hex and the bmax roll pin, shim out the gap between the bearing and hex

[AndyG]

yer- i tried the Tresrey hexes, which have the pin on the inside of the hex, and as a consequence, not enough axle made it through the wheel to get a decent connection on the lock nut.

Can see how the original on might work, but would still expect it to cause the car to have a wider track than standard.

I did measure before and after, there's literally millimeters in it, if anything.

If you'd like to measure the track on standard wheels I'll do the same on Durango

[RichyUK]

Ive had a check and there is around 1mm difference in track at most

1mm wider?

IIRC yes

Good stuff - guess with the Durango kit hexes, you haven't got anything between the pin and the plastic of the wheel, which means you've got enough axle outside the wheel to get a nut onto.

Whereas with the Tresrey hexes, you've got some metal between the pin and the wheel (as the pin goes inside the hex), and you haven't got enough axle for a nut imho.

Everybody went to the Tresrey hexes on the 210 and 410 because the pin was loose in the axle and would often fall out during a wheel change (for one reason anyway), but the roll pin on the BMAX isn't loose, so this isn't a bad option for those wanting to re-use their Durango wheels.

Nice work Rich.
