Why was Spencer Rivkin running the Jconcepts front wheels from a 22-4 (3327) at MOD race on his B74.1? I just bought my B74.1 and bought the 3381 wheels which were for the B64. Should I buy the other wheels since I haven't glued up the tires yet?

The 3327 TLR wheel has slightly more offset and makes the car wider and then he adjust the pills and or hex (narrow) to keep the overall width the same. This slightly changes the weight jacking and suspension geometry for their liking.

I do the exact opposite on astroturf.

Sounds like I will be good starting with the B64 wheels for now. Thanks guys

By my measurements, there are basically 3 front 4wd offsets. I currently own a B74.1, TLR 22-4 2.0, TLR 22X-4, Shumacher CAT L1 Evo and Xray '21 XB4C. I used to own an EB410 and D418. Yeah, I'm a little crazy...
Narrowest: Team Associated, Yokomo
Middle: TLR 22-4, HB Racing, Tekno
Widest: Schumacher, Xray, TLR 22X-4
Note that TLR changed the wheels on the 22X-4 about 1mm wider to match the Schumacher/Xray. Jconcepts says the 22-4 wheel (3327) is the same backspace as the Xray (Schumacher), but I don't agree.
This is also the offset from the center of the wheel, not backspace. Some of the wheels are slightly wider/narrower than others, which affects backspacing but not offset.

I noticed everything Jconcepts in stock at Horizon Hobby is now on sale. With the acquisition of Proline, do you think they are dropping Jconcepts?

Horizon Hobbies.

Sprinters
Hey Paul!
I was wondering, I am to mount up a set of blue Sprinters for Coral Springs and was wondering if they are directional because of the outside pins. Also would you use open or closed cell foam in them? Thanks for your input. See you at the first race of Supercup!

Apologies if this has been covered, I couldn't find it via search.
Does anyone have the length/part #'s of the associated shocks that ya'll used on the Renegade Clod chassis? Obviously I know its the Kashima Coated and using all the JC shock caps and whatnot. But I'm a bit lost on which shock you used, like the buggy rears, or truck fronts.
