To do the hex conversion you need...

#9880 steering block - http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/9880/
#7496 axle - http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/7496/

And either the AE #7497 plastic hex adapters or the JConcepts ones i use...
Front #2135 - http://www.jconcepts.net/store/index...roducts_id=538
Rear #2091 - http://www.jconcepts.net/store/index...roducts_id=524

Then some 8/32" wheel nuts for the front, these are the ones I use...

Luving the idea of this hub hex conversion for the B4 / C4 - I've always hated the idea of constantly pushing in and out bearings into the wheels themselves - always prefered the Losi XXX method of having the bearings in the front hubs themselves.

Do you use Hex's on the back aswell or do you leave that as pin drive to the rear wheel?

If you're running Hex's on the front what wheels do you use that are the same size as the normal B4 wheels (width wise).

Any chance of some close up photos of the hub/hex conversion with the front wheel off?

(I know I'm getting off topic as this thread is for the front cabby shells but I'd really like to see it in more detial)

Many thanks, great work... and I luv the shell - cant wait for its release!

Is there a big difference in wheel off set between the original B4 and B44 wheels as i was thinking of getting the hex conversion and just use the B44 front hex wheels instead of getting 2wd front hex wheels............???

cheers

The front will be waaaay too narrow if you use the 4wd wheels!

9.5 is for the long straights! And 8.5 is for oval racing.

Is the JConcepts shell likely to include an undertray?
