Default DB01 501X 12MM HEX CONVERSION

Recently got my hands on this Yeah Racing hex conversion for my DB01. I have 2 sets. 1 for my DB01 and 1 for my 501X. Whats everyone's take on this? It seems to me that the rear and front wheels sit wider than normal with the hex conversion than with the stock configuration. Anyone have any experience with this set up or is it best to stick to the stock config.?

I'm happy with the stock setup, mainly because the choice of wheels is pretty flexible: tamiya, losi, or B44 (with an M5 washer pushed in the front hex).

If it spaces them out - will there be a problem fitting it in the box?

Fitting in the box isthe least of my concerns, My main concern is the handling characteristics. Also Im well aware of wheel options with the stock setup Im just looking for feedback regarding the added width and how it impacts handling, if at all.

Of course, I meant the BRCA maximum width box...

Default wheel hex

ive run with this set up at club days, i scored some cheap d4 wheels, didnt really notice much difference in handling, the track would only be wider by a few mm. if it works use it. cheers chris
