Converting a CRC to rear single bolt hubs to run in the 200 mm LeMans class:

This conversion is a direct fit with the same offset as the CRC pod. The final width is right at 196mm with the SP wheels and foam tires mounted and the axle shimmed to center. Serpent F110 Parts needed: the right outer diff half w/14mm hex, the diff cap, the cap pin, the rear axle (steel or aluminum), the diff adjustment nut as it is specific to the axle and the left hub w/14mm hex along 2 X 3mm set screws. It uses the all the current bearings, but does require 1 additional bearing to replace one with a flange inside the diff half. The front bearings can be shimmed to fit the wheels. You have to use 1/8 diff balls and the diff rings are a direct fit to the Serpent diff halves. The CRC axle is too long to use and you have to use a Serpent unit. Rear tires will have to be trued down, but not shaved to the rim to hit 4 mm ride height. Rules for the class are 21.5 blinky with the spec wheel and tire and weight of 1200g. The chassis already fits the size requirements.
