Anybody ever put RC10 wheels on a Jrx2? If so, what parts did you use? I assume the fronts are easy, just get different bearing sizes, but what about the rears?

all i did was drill out the rear wheels (or hubs in my case)

the backspacing is gonna be off. they'll stick out little more.

Hmm, wheel modifications aren't really an option for my case. I'm was thinking of putting my Tecnacrafts on my Jrx2. Anybody got some minty Jrx2 Tecnacrafts they might want to trade for some RC10's?

You could probably use a set of Raborn axles, and just use 1/4 x 3/8 unflanged bearings in your Losi hub carriers. I have used a similar set-up with JRX Pro (A2038) hub carriers and RC10 1/4" axles. I may have a new set of those axles if you're interested, I'll take a look.

These are the axles I'm talking about.

Will the bearing/hub combo still work with those axles? The look to large in OD to me.

They are 1/4", just like RC10 axles...only difference is they are made to use Losi style slider axles. There is also an insert that fits into the outdrive of the Associated transmission to accept the universal/sliders.

Here is a pic of the whole set up. (Thanks Tulsa)

The stock losi bearings will not fit with those axles. Depending on the width of the losi hub, you will have to use either the 1/4 flanged or non-flanged (rc10t) bearings. The outer diameter is the same, but the inner diameter is different.

i have the raborn sliders with losi h-arm carriers on my c.c. oval car. you just need to use 1/4 x 3/8 plain bearings.

Or you could get the big-bearing RPM rear hubs and use 1/2" x 1/4" bearings.
