they will be a direct fit, but the front width will be a little wider.

if you want the same width when using Losi wheels, use the Losi wheel hex too.

enjoy your 5-spokes, they crack easily and look rubbish! hehe

we used to get small hairline cracks from the centre centre of the wheel out between 2 spokes.

they used to still be perfectly useable, but would not run as straight as fresh ones.


does boiling them make them look like dish wheels too? hehe

As there's a shortage of b44 wheels, i'm going to be forced to run losi wheels this weekend at kiddy. (front and rear) (and unfortunately some yellow ones )

I know theyre very similar but is there a potential for exceeding the legal width.. (with either schuey mini-spikes or ballistic spikes?)

Thanks

you can always put some losi hexes on the front if it's too wide?? I should have some spare HB hexes with me if you need some anyway - I think they are identical to losi ones but I could be wrong.

Are you sure James? I'm talking about the HB D4 losi wheel adaptors, not the kit supplied large hexes. I think the d4 losi wheel adaptors are the same as losi ones - in other words not metric like the Tamiya losi hexes are.
