Default Rear end question

Good day to all.
Does any know of Wedico Rear Ends could be use with Tamiya Trucks without any modifications?
Thanks for your help, Kenneth.

Some photos to help out...

Top is the wedico, with wedico's own extenders.. Which increase the track by 5mm(from memory) per side. They are still a little narrow...

Side on, the rims are smaller than the tamiyas, with and they oral diameter of the tyre appears to be similar to a low proifile in Tamiya scal(which is he tyre below):


For a reference to a standard Tamiya tyre:

The bottom two are the Tamiya on the bottom, wedico above it.

Then there are things like:
- spring mounts and axle mounts - should fit, with some faffing about.
- drive shafts - different input shaft of, from memory the Wedico are larger...
- I don't know how you would put Tamiya rims on the wedico axles.

Hmmm fun eh!

Cheers.
Ap

Thanks for the info. with the visual references. I didn't purchase any parts or kits as yet. I am in the research stage of my build. As soon as I find the right combination, I will start to purchase my parts. Thanks again for you help, Kenneth.
