C-hub conversion?

[evan811]

What parts do I need to convert the PBS on my 9.5 into C-hub?

 

[ZANDOR]

Why would you want to do that?
are you raceing it?

If your just bashing it keep the pbs..

 

[wannarunem]

i agree...if your just bashing why not stay with the setup youhave now?

 

[evan811]

I will be racing next season...

IF you really want the C-Hub setup then get teh CNC parts.....the stock C-hub stuff breaks easy...I ran stock C-Hubs w/ CnC knuckles...worked good and gave it a failsafe part......

 

[evan811]

what parts do i need?

 

[Plaidfish]

If you are just doing the front:
C-hubs
Stering knuckles
lower & upper A-Arms
I think you need a shorter steering turnbuckle linkage too...

the rear
Bearing Carrier
Upper & LOwer A-arms....

if you want I still have a stock setup I'd trade, my C-hub setup for the PBS.... if your's is in good condition.....

you also need different hingepin holders, front top plate, front chassis brace, and maybe a few other parts as well. i went through this with my H7 when i went to PBS. i prefered it to the C-hub for racing, because i found it to be more durable, and easier to adjust castor. you also have the bonus of being able to adjust track width. IMHO, keep the PBS for racing. only if you find a fault in it next season, should you change. and if you decide to do so. the best place i found to get the conversion is on ebay. there are guys that part out these buggies and will sell an entire front end for dirt cheap brand new. you usually get all new hinge pins, and even a gearbox in the deal too.

I need a whole set of new upper and lower arms?

I am not too firmiliar with c-hub and setting it up...
the hings pins are those pins that attach the hex to the cvd's?

How come some have different angles, like 20 and 22 degrees?

So I really need a whole front end for it to be c-hub?
I thought i could just buy a couple parts and bold them on, but, like everything, its a big ol pain in the booty! hahaha

all of the connection points are going to change....Corrado I don't remember having to swap hingepin holders....I could be wrong but on the 9.5 I think it's the same for C-hub and PBS.....only the arms and the knucke parts were different I like the PBS for the same reason...stronger...I gave my setup to a friend who kept breaking his C-hubs.....I wasn't usign em anymore after getting the best F-ing buggy in the world.....

rear upper arm holder i belive it was. and the H7 was the base for my truggy

 

[evan811]

Changed my mind, i didint realize i would need so many other parts....
