Default Cat SX and Kyosho Wheels

Hey Guys,

Thinking about getting rid of my Kyoshos for something new. However I've got a box full of ZX5 and RB5 rims which would cost a small fortune to replace....

Does anybody know if I can use these with the CAT or if there are any adapters about so I can use them?

Even if they fit on, will the offsets be sufficiently different that it'll upset the handling?

I've got standard Kyosho Rears and ZX5-SP Fronts.

Thanks in advance

Martin

Default Try HB hex

I guess Hot Bodies hex from D4 can be used, but I am not sure

not gonna work for you!!!!!!!!!!! i tried this weekend and the kyosho wheels are are a smaller diameter than the cat axles........unless you want to drill out the wheels and even then i never made it far enough to see if the offset will work

Kyosho rears and ZX5-SP fronts are the same offset as the typical Losi / Proline wheels so should work fine if you can get them mounted.

Hey,

I got the answer I needed ages ago - thanks for your help...

Someone else has taken issue with your replies, not me....
