DER-BB-LRW DE Racing Borrego Buggy Wheels TLR 22/AE B4 Rear White

That sound about right?

As for the front, I am not sure what works. I want the same style of wheel, and I see one type listed for the RB5/B4 and another listed for the TL22. Which of these works?

I am also looking at getting the exotek 12mm front hex setup here:

or, I am thinking this:

ASC91406 B5 Hexes

any opinions on these? I am assuming they work the same for fitment, thats the main thing I am wondering.


Lastly, with the current TD330382 steering set being very hard to fine, I was thinking of getting this from exotek:

any opinions on that?

just having a good ol time finding the steering hub .

what wheels are you using by the way up front?

I feel this is where Durango misses the boat. They design a nice car but then skimp on the hex setup with plastic and crappy ones at that.

Are these the ones you are using for b5 wheels?

Rear
DER-SB-ARW 1/10 Speedline Wheel (AE B4.2/B44.2/B44.3/B5/B5M/Losi 22/22 2.0/22-4) - (rear) - WHITE

Fronts
DER-SB-AFW DE Racing 12mm Hex "Speedline" 2.2 1/10 Buggy Front Wheels(2) (B5/RB6) (White)

I messaged exotek about exotek part # 1294 steering hub that was designed for the desc210 and here is their response:



Any thoughts on this? I am tempted on buying it, but its not a cheap option so would hate to have an expensive paperweight sitting here.

I decided to go with the B5 axles for now, found a place selling some for a $1 + shipping so I picked up 2 pairs for about the price of one after the shipping cost.

No bump steer problems and no flexing problems so I didn't look at alum. steering knuckles. Only thing left I might change sometime is going to the Durango rear alum hubs but that is it. Pretty happy with the rest of my car at this time. I think my new springs will be in today to try or at least I hope and want to try a new rear camber position on the rear to the inner hole on the tranny case.

Rear:

Does anyone know exactly what type of diff this is by looking at these 2 photos?
I ask because it slips really bad, I tried to drive it in the driveway tonite, I had to tighten the adjusting nut all the way til it stopped and it still slips like crazy.
Any suggestions on getting this thing to hook and book on concrete and pop some wheelies?
Thanks!
