B44 wheels DON'T fit the BJ4 WE?

[Elliott Hopkins]

This is interesting. The hex size is perfect. A good fit and more deep than Losi wheels, but this depth causes the wheels to rub against the hub at the hex.

Is this well known? Is it just my hex bit on the axle being too shallow? Is there a known mod for this little problem?

Yikes!

Yep, Just use the B44 hexes.

Will that make the car too wide?

It's what I expected. Thanks Zipper.

I noticed the B44 wheels may have a slightly different smaller offset.

Does this mean that JConcepts wheels won't fit the JConcepts car?? Yep you need B44 hexes on that badboy. I have some JC wheels on the way for use on my Tamiya/Aero/etc etc - and will 'adapt' some B44 hexes to fit..


Which reminds me - who has some B44 hexes in stock? I need some!

I can't believe this isn't more well known.

Nope lol

I was confused when Jason gave me some wheels to use in Florida, I went over to ask him why they didn't fit and he just handed me some B44 hexes without saying anything

Jconcepts Rulux front wheels on a 501x is another story.
Hex stripping was apparent for me, so I went back to the 501x/durga
stock rims. I never had this problem getting the rulux to fit the B44 though.
And the B44 hexes will not fit on the 501x axels either. :/
