I'm thinking I may just acetone off the good rubber, buy new foams and stock up on xb4 wheels incase I need to buy something at the track....

Working out the hex widths and back depths of all the wheels definitely a challenge, I have the exotek hex's now and have worked out that my 22 rears work with the 7mm and 22-4 fronts work with the 5mm. I have been running the de racing 14mm wheels and the back depths are the same as the TLR wheels

I'm looking switch over from the b44.3 to buy the 2015 and trying to figure out what 12mm offsets to buy so I can use b4/b5/b44 rear wheels. Then I was thinking of just running the 14mm xray fronts since I have to ditch the 10mm b44.3 fronts anyway, but want to shoot for something that is highly available like losi or AE.
I suppose any 12mm wheel will "fit" but want to maintain kit width starting out.

Fwiw I have several friends that have broken driveshafts recently on both 2014 and 2015 cars. The 2014 manual says to run 3 oring limiters on the shock shaft but my 2015 manual shows no limiters. I recommend running at least 2 orings because depending on roll center and camber the bone can bind on up travel in the outdrive and break the bone or outdrive with no orings. A friend broke another bone at the track yesterday and I looked at his car and he has no limiters and you could see the marks on the bone where it was hitting the outdrive. And he was running middle width, so it doesn't only happen when running narrow.

I'm running a loose small indoor track this next weekend. Suggestions on F/C/R diff oil weight?
Much appreciation for suggestions.

I've noticed associated spurs seem a close fit to the xb4 ones. Has anyone tried them and will they work?
