Running the New AE Hub Carriers |
|
| Team Associated has released some new aluminum hub carriers for the B4/T4/SC10 family of cars. They addressed the problem of broken ballstuds by creating a top molded piece to hold the ballstud; if it breaks in a bad wreck you simply replace the cheap plastic and keep going. Unfortunately the new hub carriers doesn't bolt directly on to X Cars. | |

It didn't take long for the X Factory Family to jump into action. Within a few weeks of release, member "PaintingRoly" on RCTech
posted up his fix for the new hub carriers. In his words: "What you do is shave down the sunken in part where the caphead
screw sits flush... This pic [on the right] shows the differance between the "stock" [left] and "modified" part [right]. Once they're sanded down,
the sanded face goes on to the aluminum hub, and this is what it looks like mounted [below]." Using this method you can run thehub carriers on the correct side, that is R on the right side and L on the left, and thus easily run hub carriers with toe-in. |
