That's correct, kit hingepins fit perfect. To pull the pins out the rear, you will need our updated parts coming in about 1 month.

Exotek, Avid or Schelle need to make a better front hub and insert system to keep this from happening. It's just poor axle alignment that's chewing up bearings. Some kits have better alignment than others or using hard hubs with inserts helps a little.

molding parts is too costly for small companies. AE should have just gone with 1 piece spindles like tlr.

Rick, honestly AE put me on my heals with this light weight car for stock. Obviously something has changed inside of AE. For the better I might add. I was referring to the lack of stock setups, Reedy tuning rotors, "certified" stock motors and etc. Reedy and AE make good stuff no doubt. And the pricing is great. And i honestly didnt expect AE to release a light weight chassis. I mean TLR did it, Kyosho did it, but still. I am not sure if this is because of the size of stock or just because the original kit was a heavy pig, lol. In any case, this new kit is a home run IMO. Racers will be a ble to add pucks and be competitive right out of the box. I am also very surprised to see the 3 gear in the kit. I mean it is brand new. I have not even run my 3 gear yet and you guys drop this kit. So I assume you guys did a lot of stock testing and the 3 gear is the defacto stock upgrade.

Thanks for the clarification, I was assuming this to be the case, but was unsure. Def have them in the cart, and will look for the hingepins when they come out.

Out of curiosity...is there a conversion to run tlr22 2.0 front wheels on b5m?

I assume the rears are the same.

Thanks
