Going to run mod motor so maybe best way is to get the metal gears!
My other buggys use losi/AE/Tamiya rear rims, any mods i can do to use the same rims? Hassle to buy tons of rims&tires ust for this car!
Kyosho are direct fit. USA colleagues say that HB seems to fit nicely in front diff but in rear it needs some work. Do not remember about AE...
Caster slipper is not bad but... to adjust it you have to take it out from buggy so some drivers went to HB D4 slipper... But it is expensive and not easy to find...
Even with mod motors if you shim correctly and set correctly slipper you should be ok with standard gears... But always it is good to have spare ones
A quote from casterracingusa forum: "Tamiya and any other with a zero offsett and 12mm hex, pin style wheels with a shim behind the pin will work...". I do know for sure that wheels with 12mm hex and zero offset fits nicely . Sold all B44 wheels so can not say anything about pin style rims...
