Watching with interest since I'm most of the way down a different track to achieving essentially the same end.

Why did you need to flip the c hub resulting in the 8mm height issue?

Nice tink!

Nice guide.

Sorry but 8mm change in hub height will totally mess up the suspension geometry. As will an extra 10mm track width. I would not recommend this modification at all.

The Tamiya bearing wheels work and come in sizes suitable for modern tyres.

Been re reading this thread as I too am trying to fit a Hex wheel to a bearing axle. I am using the Fastrax wheel bearing adapter. I am basically sacrificing 2 old CC01 wheels to try the concept. Ultimately my process will result in an unreversable conversation but as these wheels have spent the last two years under my bed. When I’ve finished if successful or not I will post.

 

whilst re reading the post I have a question for you @alvinlwh and that is you seem to have part of the rim with no tyre on it?  ie the tyre is too narrow for the rim. Why and how does it stay on???

I have a M-05Ra, I have the parts on hand, I did the measurements and this will work. I do not want to go off buying random parts that I do not know the measurements of and risk them not fitting -OR- on some of the guides, have to cut/grind parts. Cannot be ar-ed to when this is mostly a drop in fit other that opening up the top holes of F1. Not flipping it means I have to chop something as it will not fit into the lower arm.

EDIT: The lower part of F1 is 12.1mm whereas the "fork" of the D1 are 10.94mm, meaning I got 1.16mm of material to remove.

Thank YOU!!  Simple, elegant, cheap, available! Absolutely doing this to me 'Oliday Buggy!
