Now I see that XB4-wheels seems cheaper than Kyosho-wheels at Amain. I wonder if its better to let my RB5 run XB4-wheels. Do anybody have any comments on this?

Update: I just tried the XB4 rear-wheels on the RB5, and the RB5-rims were just a bit too short. bah.
yea, I posted that 100 pages or so ago. Just use XB4 rims. The fronts are close but your car will work differently when you switch rims because they are off a couple mm. The rears as you found aren't even close.
