The answer is Engage is a shithouse and you should avoid buying anything there.

Yes a lot of problems with engage,and a lot of misprints on thier site.

I wouldn't try.

They say 15mm drive square. That will not fit any Redcat.

So do FG wheels fit the XB without having to buy adapters?

 

[cordy]

No fg wheels wont fit.I believe the fg uses 18mm .The adapters lets you use hpi wheels which are 24mm.Some brands changed over to 24mm.(mcd)and nutech(tb3).

The FG wheels have a 8mm thread.

The X-series cars come with a 6mm or 10mm on the new ones. The axle is not long enough to get all the way through the wheel.

It is possible to run them you will have to modify the wheel and or axle. It just easier to run the Baja wheels.

I extended the threads on my XB so I could run these. I welded on more thread.

Those are still my favorite wheels. They only get ran in the grass.

 

[Dreggsta]

how do you cut that lexan so smooth?

 

[Guest]

With one of these.

Followed up by a sanding drum on the Dremmal.

No problem man. Most of the large stores have them. I've even seen them at local craft stores.
