Fireteam Exb vs blx arms?

[Anthony jaques]

Is there any difference in the kraton blx vs exb hubs axles arms I want to do the swap on the fireteam but wanna make sure I don't get parts mixed with the longer axles and such and for those of yall that have done this how much does it widen it got some big tires bit wider soo need room and I don't want to throw a big long extender on there I feel that would compromise strength at the hub

Ok.
If you want to widen your Fireteam you will need the stub axles and front and rear hubs from the Kraton. The drive shafts are the same so don’t replace them.. the plastic suspension arms are the same too….don’t replace them…..it will widen the rig by about an inch and a half or so. …..it’s a good retrofit for the Fireteam.

Damn, I hope I didn’t Phuck that up and mislead you……I’m pretty sure these are the droids you are looking for……maybe others can chime in here.

You only need the four red circled part numbers mentioned above. There are no specific EXB parts; the same as the BLX parts.

Aren’t kraton hexes needed as well?

[KevinC]

No Kraton hexes needed. As a matter of fact the Fireteam hexes are better because they are thicker and provide more “meat” to fill the actual hex in the rim.

I say again, don’t buy the drive shafts…….they aren’t needed……..but it’s always nice to have spares.

My bashing style this was a nice change-up. I like it when I saw Rich Duperdash do it...not that I send it like him...

I went a little more and added M2C extended HEX so that added a little more width...love how planted the FT is.

Enjoy the project!

I've been digging they do mostly precision crawler gears axles ect tool grade steel looks to be on par with vitavon I'm going to give them a shot I'm sure 1650kv will be an adequate testeroo

The 1650 kv motor in this rig is killer! I'm running it in mine.
