There not 12mm hexes on the front i'm pretty sure they are 9.5mm or 10mm hexes

The front already has 12mm on front box stock, you will have to invest in 12mm hexes for the rear if you choose.

10.5 thru 6.5 is all good the more you dial it in and the faster you get will best confirm the motor you want. I have even ran a 5.5 on mine.

Some will argue the front end is weak but honestly its not the kit. I have raced the 44 platform for years. Its all driver error on the front end.
Stock up on front shock shafts, caps, eyelets, and a-arms. A couple of sets of gear assemblies and you should be good. Clean driving and you wont need even worry about the front end at all. It takes a pretty serious hit to break it or a just right hit.

Im pretty sure they are 9.5mm or 10mm hexes on the front, they are definitely not 12mm

If so my bad thanx for correcting me I thought they were. I am going to be running hexes this year when I get around to putting my new kit together. I better be sure so I can get the right size for my wheels. Thanx.

I bought some B44.1 front JC 12mm hex wheels for the my new kit. But I couldn't find any hexes for the front of the kit so I assumed they were already 12mm. So I checked the JC package it states 12mm but they of not. Weird?

Guys... I'm pretty certain It's 12mm hexes front and back on the 44.1 kit. I'll check once home.

No. B44.1 front hex is 9mm (or maybe 9.5mm). Even if you were able to switch hexes, the B4.1 front hex wheels have a much different offset.

This sparked my interest. I hate the front hex design on the b44.1. I'd rather have a clamping hex.

The front hex is 100% not 12mm. It's the same smaller hex like losi had forever.

UN4RACING 09-21-2012 02:22 PM

I checked and its 9.5mm....

I agree, and I tried to buy a set but can't find a front set. Thus my reason for assuming it was 12.mm. I checked AE's site and they don't offer anything.

The roll pin is captured by the wheel though.

My baby is rebuilt and ready! I go a month or two without 4 wheel buggy and when she gets rebuilt its like the day before Christmas I get so excited! I love how you can have 200 batteries in a car and a few bucks later and a couple hours of work it's like she's new again!! Love it love it love it!!! Best 4 wheel EVER!!

I'm a bit confused, after watching the hex adapters and hex wheels of different brands. Maybe there are some mistakes in the part lists...

Can somebody give me please the part numbers of the white associated hex wheels, with the hex adapters for the B44.1 and the B4.1, including the additional parts which I need to convert the B4.1 to hex?

thanks! ;)

You want the aluminum hex adapters; not the link you provided.

These ones instead:
