Grasshopper 4WD wheels ?

[jamie tee 2]

have a question regarding the grass hopper

 

will the front wheels be able to be made into a drive wheel ? I know it's a bearing wheel but would you be able to use the rear pin drive things for the back on the front aswell ? it's not for a grasshopper it's for my mf-01x project 

 

or anyone know where you can get the same sort of wheels narrow at the front and wide at the back ?

You couldn't just put a pin in and make it a drive wheel, but if you cut a pin width slot in one of the plastic bushings that tamiya supply instead of proper bearings then glue it into the wheel that would transfer drive.

Maybe the Hotshot wheels???  You could use them with the CRP 4114 adapter to make them 12mm hex???

That is a very good idea might be on to a winner there

It was just an idea...  Google found me some 4piece Buggy Wheels (thin front, wide rear) that took 12mm hex, though nothing from a "reputable" manufacturer...  

Good luck!
