Just confirming both front and rear wheels are the same as the B4.x?

Yes.

So can someone explain the axle issue to me? I'm running the stock ones and have no issues with them other than needing to use a 0.20mm shim on each one to eliminate play. I used blue loctite on the screws and they aren't falling out. What am I missing here?

And if you poke fun of the question I'm going to reignite the turnbuckle debate..

There was a turnbuckle debate? I just use the JConcepts ones.

I am with you GC I have had 0 issues, other than not using loctite the first time... oops.

I may not have used loctite the first time around but I know I did the 2nd time and lost a front wheel on each side. Heard its happened to several others and i personally witnessed the "phenomenon" 2 other times at my track. Clamping front hex solved the issue. (Maybe just piece of mind that they won't come off again.)

A. Some of the crush tubes were undersized and when the axle was completely tightened down put excess pressure on the bearings which caused them to fail prematurely.

B. Some were using old loctite that didnt hold and the screws were falling out. It also didnt help that the manual didnt say to put loctite on the threads.

Loctite metal to metal (rear ball studs at the hubs and front axles) and make sure to get the right turnbuckles.

So you can use b4.2 rims front and rear? Had a losi so I want to make sure I buy the right wheels for the b5. thanks.

Yes, any B4 series hex wheel will work. Front and Rear are the same as the B4.2

Which one you getting ?

Rear or the mid ?

I been tuning & driving Harleys the last few days.

You need to test drive his, its performing awesome...

Rear. I'm moving back to CT soon, and traction on tracks there isn't too great.

Plus, I'm a lot more comfortable driving a RM, more forgiving for my many mistakes, imo.

The only annoying thing is the wheels are pretty loose on the axle. I know once you snug them up they line up with the hex but "hotdog in a hallway" axle wise.

WOW! He must have somehow gotten the patents/rights to his work! That is a carbon clone of the triad! I wonder if Avid lost the rights to the Triad, or if some arrangement was made.
