I use the trinity d4 5.5t, which is basically the same as the ion v4. the power delivery is very good. It not overally torquey but still fast when you need

I just picked up a 413 as my first 4wd buggy. I read through several pages of this thread and I would like to make sure I understand something.
The front wheels from my 22 will fit the front, but they are 1mm narrower than the 4wd wheels. For an average club racer, will that 1mm really make a difference? I would like to use the same wheels to reduce spare parts requirements.
Do most use the same tire front to back or is mismatching common?
For a track where 2wd are using slicks, would you recommend slicks on a 4wd?

22-4 front are what most run on the 413. I wouldn't run 2wd fronts. You can def run slicks on 4wd...there just a little tuning from pin tire setups. Mismatched tires are common and used for tuning traction and handling. It is especially important on 2WDs.

What issues are caused by 2wd wheels? Some manufacturers even lost the same part number. 4wd is totally new to me, I am trying to understand it.
Thanks

What about front rims that fit a B44? I just tried to update my old azz B44 but the steering rack is horrible so I gave up and bought the D413.

Now I have nice black rims and a few packs of tires for the B44. The fronts are much skinnier than the rears on the B44. Can I still use these wheels on the D413 successfully???

Thanks peeps. Happy F-ing Friday!!

The offset is different and will cause handling issues. The 2wd wheel and tire is narrower as well.

I believe the 413 comes with optional smaller hexes to fit the B44 front wheels. B44 rears will fit.

Getting 1 or 2 sets of proper 4wd front tires/wheels will be well worth it. Your $800 investment in kit & electronics will be much more fun when you add $20 worth of the most important thing any car can have, which is tires

Does anyone know the measurement from inside hex to inside edge of wheel? I got several sets of wheels with the car and I would like to check if they are 22 or 413 wheels.

I'm hesitant to spend $85 on the Schelle CF chassis when the kit just works so well out of the box. For those that have it, is this a must-have or just a nice-to-have? I'm a fairly consistent driver and would be very happy with gaining just .2 or .3 per lap if there's that type of potential in adding this upgrade.

What would you add to your arsenal of tires if given $200 in gift cards like me?

I'd have tons of electrons and some primes, I'm curious about the primes.

What tires are run at your local track?
