These ones won't fit

But the rears will

The fronts you want are:
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=2296
and these wheels to go with them
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=15637
You'd also want inserts for them, probably these would do

I just picked modelsport as an example, lots of other shops out there too!

Yea i just had trouble find other shops in google. Do you know of any good ones? if not i might buy some when i get to Cullingworth next.

Trying to get tehm allready with wheels so i dont have to glue things lol

P.S if I do end up haveing to glue my own wheels, is there anywhere you can get wheels that look a bit cooler than a block of white? (then again cos there solid I guess its extra protection.)

Are schuey's the only way to go as far as tyres are concerned? Saw some called fastrax that look similar anyone tried these ones?

Got my B4 stuff from Apex Models, which included Schuey Yelloe Mini Pins. Which fit Slims for the front on narrowed wheels

Ye apex seems good, just wish I could get them allready fitted and some nicer looking wheels, wish I had bout a 4wd model now would have been much easier lol.

Is it fairly strait forward to put the tyres on?

Do you know by chance what the item codes are for the wheels? I take it the rear wheels are the same on 4wd and 2wd? So i can get those ones pre mounted?

[markwilliamson2001]

In answer to your question, yes the rear wheels for both the B44/B44.1, and B4/B4.1 are the same.

You cannot get any schumacher yellow minipins premounted on B4 wheels though I am afraid...

You will need some inner foams to go with the Schumacher Minipins. Schumacher Green or Blue inner foams seem popular, as do the Answer foam inserts (I prefer the Asnwer ones from MK Racing, as the foam seems better quality and doesn't disintegrate over time)

You will need to glue the tyres to the wheels using tyre/super glue. Best to clean the tyre first to remove any release agent (I use Muc Off Brake Cleaner, on some kitchen roll).

To remove the tyre once worn, you can either boil them off in an old saucepan (remember the tyre glue is cyano (POISONOUS!))

Or buy some acetone (nuclear rc do it)

Hope this helps some.

If you dont want dish rims, I use these J concepts spoked rims.

Will the wheels from a Traxxas bandit fit on my B4.1? Just they look really cool with there chrome spoked wheels

[Tempest501]

Actually I think I am gonna get some of those Jconcept ones for my road/bash tyres and use dishs for racing.

Not looking forward to trying to fit/remove tyres for the first time lol

Anyone know of a way to convert the front of a B4.1 so that it will accept 4wd tyres? just seems if i can do that i can just buy whel and tyre sets then without the hassle of remove/glueing tyres
