I like your stuff and am thinking about getting a J82 but the fact that i need to have to change out the driveshafts to do it keep me from doing it.
The J82 wheels offset made it difficult to make them in the quick change configuration. Besides that, 1/10th buggies do not use that setup, so it was more to the "look" to not use it.

I have switched my standard T4 hubs to QC and do not plan on going back. I also race a GT2 so it makes sense to keep the QC rims on my trucks.

I do have a J82 and will be building it from my spare T4 parts.

The J82 Rims are not like the stock T4 rims... they are slightly narrow to keep the appearence of a buggy.

Root,

We need to get you and Andy to a race in the NE

Exactly i just pwned jconcepts with my post........ they werent thinking on that one.

let's come out with a buggy concept for the t4 without QC wheels........

Now lets come out with jconcepts QC t4 wheels .......

the j82 doesnt use qc and the t4wheels do.....

Makes zero sense if it was the standard the j82 should have qc wheels.
It makes plenty of sense, but there are plenty of elements that go into every product decision.
