Hi,

You need the hex steering blocks (AS9880)
Hex axles either the AE (AS9880) or the JC (JC2169)
I've found the JC axles better.

You'll also need the hexes, AVID / JConcepts / Proline front alloy hexes.
OR AE do a plastic version as well.

Don't forget the hex wheels, AVID / JConcepts / Proline / AE.

MiCk B. :-)

brilliant reply from Mick.. not sure of the benefit of hexes on front wheels 2wd ? obvious benefit on driven wheels , but rolling wheels ?:confused:

Here you go mate

You will need the steering blocks as mentioned by Mick, but all the other hardware & shims will be covered off in the axles pack

Well,

No bearings in the wheels is a bonus. Much easier to change wheels trackside.
