But for the older cars without the diff side spacer I have had to use old 2 bolt wheels and tru up my own tires. When I ran this car we were running on an outside asphalt track, the car with the right tires on it could keep up with the newer cars, but with the 2s battery it was like running 6-cell mod back int eh day but with out worring about the runtime
You are running a bit faster than we are, 2s LiPo and 17.5 is fast indeed.I like not worring about run time.
The reason why I asked about the RC4less wheels is that we have them here in Japan but they are not premounted. I was told that the will work on two bolt hubs as the have 6 holes instead of the normal 3 these days. But it sounds like you dont have any problems with wheels.
Bringing up trueing tires, if anybody has info on what arbor you use for classic 1/12 wheels it would be nice to have it posted here. I know of a few that I can share.
Tamiya F103 arbor-- ABC Hobby wheels,Front and rear
Mugen K2X wheels,Front and rear
AYK RX series,Front only
Kyosho Impress,Front and Rear
Touring car arbor-- Kyosho hex wheels,Front and rear,might need a spacer
on the out side of the wheel depending on what arbor
you are using.
