Just did the Blitz Hex conversion..

[Temptation]

I changed my front end with the Blitz front carriers and all that is needed is the hole needs opened a lil more for the pin to go through the caster block and I also made it to where I am using the rear Losi XXX-SCT wheels and it worked perfect.. Will post pics soon.

We know it will work. We want to know how it affects handling! Lap times would be nice. Track performance before and after.

What is actually changing? Camber link heights? Pivot point? What "should" the truck do on paper before and after?

[Temptation]

I am running it this Saturday and will report back as said in a post where someone else did it, you have to lenghten the steering rods and adjust the camber lenghts and it seems like when you press down it a slight bit more of camber movement so to say, for instance if it is set at -1 and normally it would change to 0 under load it might go slight past that possibly by just bench testing of course.. This is a total assumption as of now..Will post up pics and vids of the movement as soon as I can.

Also you have to shave the back of the rim to run the Losi wheels which was not a big deal either...Put the Hex in the rim and shave it flush to the hex or it will rub on the block and also notch out for clearance also.

More pics and also a video of how much it changes when suspension is compressed which is not much, any more angles you guys wanna see let me know I can take more pics for ya.

is this something that we can then run wheels meant for the front of the blitz? just hard to find wheels for these trucks right now and not 100% into the DE wheels

[subaru_tech]

does the wheel still fit inside the body,looking for a hex conversion to swap tires also with ten te

[Temptation]

I modified the rims so they would not rub and yes it is same width, but I found out when you take the meat out of the rim the strenght went to hell after my 2 broken rims, back to the drawing board on the rims. I will update when I figure out a solution

That would require cooperation between brands on a level that's not possible in any industry, much less RC cars.
