So I have my B4.1 and was looking at getting new wheels/tires and seems like I can't find any factory bearing wheels, and insult to injury is the hex conversion is near impossible to find also (saw one pair of axles on ebay for $30)

anyone have any options for bearing wheels or are they made of unobtanium now also.

thanks - I will check those out

There are TONS of B4 wheels on the used market, as that was the standard for a whole decade... you might want to go this route

Otherwise, JC made some... proline made some... everyone had them, so shouldn't be that much of a grail hunt

good luck!

yeah I just did a quick look and thought I read elsewhere that they were not readily available new....in looking for the yellow associated part number it looks like they were sold out of most places or selling for a massive premium, then I looked for the parts to do the hex conversion and was equally dismayed....though if I am spending that money figure hex would be the way to go. Crazy how limited some of these items are.

If this works, it seems like a great deal:

is this based off B4 components? and yes that would be a steal if it fits.

It fits on the RC10, 10t, and T2, anything above that needs the arms to be shaved a bit for it to fit

yes... but is your track LOOSE DIRT? Otherwise, doesn't work

found a shop in canada that had some of the hex axles in stock so ordered those, now just need the rest of the parts for the conversion.
