If you are using the ae spindles and axles you use a B4 rear hex in the front and and sc10 rear hex in the rear. This is for the JC wheels anyway.

That's crazy, I haven't driven my t4.1 in so long I didn't know they made hexes for it at all. Not good for me to switch I have so many rims and tires that haven't even bn scuffed in yet lol

If you don't want to beleive the guy then don't. That's what is needed to put hexes on.

Just curious where this info is posted from the manufacture. Because what he's saying conflicts with other manufactures.

Here's DeRacing's parts list for using their Trinidad hex wheels for T4.1:

Hex Conversion Parts List:
ASC9880 Steering Blocks
ASC9881 Hex Front Axles SC10
ASC6953 8-32 Low Profile Nylock Nuts
ASC7497 Plastic Hex Set, B4 Buggy (Aluminum B4 Hexes Preferred)
ASC4449 4-40 Mini Aluminum Locknuts
I use AE's aluminum hexes for the B4.1 (ASC9890/9891) on my B4.1 and T4.1 with their Trinidad and Borrego wheels

Well, my team manager told me lol. If u plan to run the JC wheels with ae parts, that's what is needed. Now, when I asked JC what's needed with THEIR T4 axels, they replayed that they use sc10 rear hex front and rear on the T4.

No....they are not.

JConcepts are using their own axle for the front and their SC10 hexes for the rear to get the correct width using their new Mono wheels.

DeRacing are using the AE parts along with the B4 hexes front and rear to achieve the correct width.

So if you use DeRacing wheels with the JConcepts setup you will add width due to different offset on the wheels

Wondering about this myself. One advantage i see is that you can move the weight of the pack around more. They are lighter. If you use one, why?

I got to try one the other nite. Truck seemed to like the less weight. I was tryin to take some steering out of it and ran the pack towards the back. Jumped well had good traction still and still steered very well. I am gonna buy a cpl packs and keep using them.plus u can mount ur esc in the center if u choose

Ok maybe this has been covered...sorry if so. I have the RTR T4.1 and am doing some upgrading. One thing I want to get is CVDs...I think...or is it CVAs? So I'm seeing three kits on A-Main for this...MIP C-CVD, AE MIP CVD (are these the same? The images aren't.), AE FT SC10/T4 CVA

If you had the RTR and were going to upgrade it what would you do? I purchased the V2 threaded shocks with a full spring set...nice to see deals on these with the BBs coming out now.

Edit: Oh and I have part of a hex conversion...I bought a wheel lot for my B4.1 that came with a set of B4.1 JC hexes, so all I need are the axles and spindles and the correct wheels. I think I am going to make that change as the RTR tires are getting worn and I have no other wheels or tires for the T4.1 (it has been a basher).

Thanks for the post, what shock oil, piston and spring were you running or did you leave the same set-up as you were using with a long pack? As for mounting your esc in the middle, i did this on my b4.1 and ended up not liking it, it might be different on a t4.1 but on my b4.1 it felt unbalanced front to rear and to get the feel right i had to add a lot of weight under the battery and even then it didn't feel right due to the added weight and now i'm back to standard electronic mounting positions and i'm way more happier, more steering and same amount of rear grip as before plus the car is a lot lighter since i dont have to add weight. Not saying you shouldn't play around with it but just giving a heads up.
