Default b44 pin drive wheels to hex

Hi I have an old b44 which I havent used for quite a few years, but it has the old style pin drive rear wheels.Looking to dust it off and have a race but I see that most cars now use hex drive wheels, never liked the pin drive wheels anyway due to either stripping the plastic or losing the pin. Just wanted to know if there is an adapter available which can convert my car to use the hex wheels while maintaining the correct track width. If anyone could point me in the correct direction and which wheels are suitable it would be appreciated.

B44.3 uses 10mm hex fronts and 12mm hex rear wheels as standard. So get yourself a set of clamping hex's for the b44.3 which will fit straight onto your B44, and get the B44.3 wheels as well and you'll keep everything to the right width.

I run both my B44.3's on pin and hex as I had so many wheels of that type it wasn't worth running the hex drives.

I believe they are, I've run losi & yokomo wheels on b44.2 in the past.

If you want to run 12mm hex front wheels then you'll need the 12mm front hexs!
Part number AS9955

The 12mm rear hexs are AS9925
