pistol pete Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 To add the front axle from the 818 you needed to make a bracket to hold it look in pdc topics for 6430 and it will show you what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewstanford Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 ye i thought the wheels looked just right i think the old wheels were too skiny and i did not like the tread pattern also i couldnt find the thing about the 818 axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
