TLR XX4WE Questions
Hello!
JUst wondering what hexes you guys are running on the rear of the XX4. I have noticed the B44.2 Hexes fit perfectly with only a little spacing out. Any others out there, do others run AE hexes? Cheers! |

Don't know if anyone is running hexes at all on there xx4. The only thing I can think of that might work are the hexes from the old xxx-s touring car. don't know how wide that will make the car though.

I'm pretty sure a mate of mine is running TLR22 wheels on his XX4.

i was going to mess around with 22 bits to make a hybrid rear suspension/hubs/driveshafts but its only benefit is the wheels tbh as XX4 with XXXCR hubs/wishbones is very good. |

Why not just direct change to associated hubs, they directly fit with spacers. Is the associated wheel offset differently?

Are you struggling to get XX4 wheels? |

I believe you can still get the old Losi rims if you are worried about the extra width our AE hexes are giving you. HTH |

My understanding was that the TLR hex wheel when used with a standard width TLR hex gives the same offset as the old Losi pin style wheel - so in theory, there should not be any problem with width differences if you use the TLR hex wheel on the rear of the XX4 (or XXX4).
As Delves has said, problems can arise when using the old UJ style rear driveshaft as the recess for the locknut on the TLR wheel doesn't allow for a nut runner and so you'll be tightening the rear wheels with a pair of long nose pliers. CVD shafts use a smaller OD lock nut and there is sufficient room for the smaller imperial nut runner so they're OK Other than that - it works just fine. |

Hi guys, thanks for the replies! No problems getting Losi Rims, more so just prefer the hex system as opposed to pins.. Never been a huge fan.
Ill try some more and see how we go! Cheers |

Does anyone there have a newer reference setup for carpet?

Can't say for certain - since the CVDs are almost as old as me but I suspect they were MIPs.
Again, I'm not 100% sure but even the LOSA part number CVDs for the older Team Losi cars like the XX-4 might well have been MIPs. The point I was trying to make about it though was in reference to the thread size and thus the nut on the axle itself. The Losi UJs utilise a bigger nut than the CVDs I have and so when used with TLR wheels with a recess for the nut, you have less access for the nut runner with the UJs than you have with the CVDs and so you might need to use needle-nose pliers to tighten up the TLR wheel when using the Losi UJs.

No carpet setups (newer ones than Petit?)
I guess Ill work on it and post my findings! |

I run 22 hexes on the rear of my xx4 with some aluminium hexes on the front I have made at work. With regards to the nut runner I have just turned the outside diameter of one down on a lathe so it fits in the recess of a 22 whel.
