Default JConcepts wheels on D4

How do you fit the JConcepts wheels on the D4 like Travis at the worlds?

Do you only use the pin with a certain amount shims for the rear and the losi adaptors for the front tah HB have as optional???

Or you need the B44 hex (part no. 9750) for the front? Does the HB pin fit correctly, or do I need a shorter one?

Any ideas regarding the different offset? I have to make tests if I manage to fit them!

Isn't there a conversion kit for using Associated/Losi-style wheels?

Yes there is, for the front though and it is mentioned as conversion for Losi wheels, so do Losi front wheels use the same hex as the Associated ones?

And what about the rear?

the rear takes associated/Losi wheels straight on. There are shims included in the kit that go on behind the pin, and you obviously leave the hex off.
I have no idea about the front though

You are right! The rear fit absolutely fine if you take of the hex and use the shims supplied with the kit, that is their use anyway, but I had missed that part!

As for the fronts, I will test some losi hexes and will see. If they do not fit I will get the conversion kit from HB.

I think I will be fine with my new wheels!

Thanks for unblocking my mind!

I am running the B44 hex on the front of my d4 and this allows for all wheels of the losi hex fitment to be used. If you run the losi/HB hex you cannot run the AE wheels without it rubbing on the hub, im not sure about the JC wheels though.
