AE and K run the same and Losi is the odd man out, so blame Losi not AE..

they say rb5 fronts, and 22 rears fit the conversion.

you can also try the TQ / Team C front rims as they both use the 12mm hex mounting system.

Then I was half right..

I don't have an issue with the current pin rear/bearing in the wheel set-up so I'll run that untill AE makes me a new car with something different.

I have just found that the 22 wheels use a 9mm hex where the AE kit will use a 12mm hex. This takes away the point of trying to be more universal.

Have any of you run into this problem? Are the Kyosho fronts 12mm?

Rather sure that the sc10 hex axle and b4 hex axle are different. The sc10 I believe is longer.

That is one hell of a saw to cut a chassis. Good luck and take it easy.

just checking out some numbers 22 vs 4.1 vs roar. was wierd to see that wheelbase MAX is the same in truck AND buggy 292mm in buggy 11.5" in truck (292.1mm)

roar
Wheelbase Maximum: 292 mm

b4
Wheelbase: 273mm

22
Wheelbase: 285.5mm

wheelbase; 12.5mm shorter than 22
roar; 19mm shorter (b4)

-------------------------

roar
Wheelbase Maximum: 292 mm

t4
Wheelbase: 288mm

22t
Wheelbase: 290mm

wheelbase; 2mm shorter than 22t
roar; 4mm shorter (t4)

-------------------------

truck chassis is 19mm longer than the buggy, which would make the b4 "exactly" roar max, but making the buggy lazy.

t4 wheelbase is 98.6% that of the 22t.
for a b4 wheelbase to be 98.6% that of a 22, it would need to be 281.59mm

281.59mm is 8.59mm longer than a standard b4. think im shooting for a 10.5mm shorter t4 chassis

variable speed table saw, will be runnin on low (2800 rpm) just not very good with straight lines with a dremel, this would also make "mass production" alot more "controlled"
