Hex wheel conversion for AE vehicles

[Richard Lowe]

A few people are a bit unsure what parts are needed to do this, so I thought I'd create a new thread about it instead of going off topic in others

Parts needed for the B4/4.1

Steering blocks - AE part #9880 http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/9880/
Axles - AE part #7496 http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/7496/
Front hex - JConcepts part #2135 http://www.jconcepts.net/store/index...roducts_id=538
Rear hex - JConcepts part #2091 http://www.jconcepts.net/store/index...roducts_id=524

(You can also get AE part #7497 which will get you all 4 hex's in plastic)

Finally the wheels themselves, a choice of Proline or JConcepts...

Proline front - #2735-04 (white), #2735-02 (yellow)
Proline rear - #2736-04 (white), #2736-02 (yellow)
JConcepts front - #3347 (white or yellow)
JConcepts rear - #3348 (white or yellow)

The hex conversion gives you the same fitment and offset as the Kyosho RB5, so any wheels compatible with that car should fit, the TLR22 rear is the same too

B44 style front wheels won't fit on the front, the offset is wrong and the car will be much too narrow.


Parts needed for the SC10

Steering blocks - AE part #9880 http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/9880/
Axles - AE part #9881 http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/9881/
Front hex - JConcepts part #2134 http://www.jconcepts.net/store/index...roducts_id=537
Rear hex - JConcepts part #2081 http://www.jconcepts.net/store/index...roducts_id=470

Loads of SC hex wheels around with different offsets, the hex conversion makes the SC10 the same fitment and offset as the SC10 4x4 so any wheels that work for the 4wd will fit the converted 2wd
