Yeah, now you have two options. That is, if you have 3/16 axles.

Unfortunately, all my stuff is 1/4".

Traxxas 7171 wheels and Factory Works 1/4" hexes. Jconcept wheels for the front.

Thanks.

Now that you mention it, I had looked at the Traxxas wheels before but couldn't find any fronts that I liked to go with them.

I already have the Factory Works hexes on a couple cars, so I'm familiar with the minor work that they need. I also re-tap serrated M4 wheel nuts to 8-32.


I was getting ready to order a few sets from JC Racing but I might mix it up some.

I am so glad JConcepts re-released the 3/16 RC10 / B2 wheel. There were no wheels to be found and the few for sale were priced 3-to-5 times the normal cost. At that price, I’m afraid to place it on a car to race

Finally caught some in stock and picked up some Traxxas rears to go with them. They should go together decent enough.

Hey guys, I recently pulled my rc10b2 out of storage and had to order new tires due to mine being dry rotted and I quickly realized they didn't fit my stock wheels. I ordered the jconcepts wheels for my b2 but the rears don't seem to fit my tapered rear drive axle. Has anyone had this issue? Will attach photos for reference. I have had this car forever and I'm not sure if they are the original axles. Thanks in advance

You must have a B2 sport. They used the 1/4" axles.

Ah. I didn't even realize there were different size axles for this car. I'm assuming it would be easier to find a wheel that fits these than find the other axles. Parts seem to be scarce online for these cars.

See my posts above.

Got it! Thanks for the info I'll be ordering them!

Anyone know if there is enough material in the JConcepts rear mono wheel to drill out for 1/4" axle?

Want the dish wheels without going to hex on the rears with the Traxxas 7171 and Factory Works 1/4" axle 12mm hexes.

Here are a few pics of the JConcepts fronts and Traxxas rears on a couple cars.

The clear body car has Schumacher full spikes all around. The black car has Schumacher blocks on the rear and Traxxas Alias fronts. I may change the blocks to something else, as they are a little small.
