I think I am going to build this Jac Rabbit, Can yall tell me is the hubs standard on the jac rabbit will any 1/4 scale wheels work on the rabbit? I went to BRP and dont know what size of wheel or bolt pattern size to buy? I called yesterday and today but just get the message machine.

I want a set of new sprint car tires for the back for now and if I knew what size of wheel I need I am hoping to pick up a pair of aluminums on ebay in the near future.

ALSO

are both dogbones the same size? or is one longer then the other ? I onlu have one to look at the exhaust side is missing . I want to pull the dog bone and take it to have a another one machined but needed to know if they were the same size if so I will just take the one I have and have it copied , if not then gonna hace to take the car as well.

Thanks in advance Dom

Dog bones are the same, left and right.

Do you want rubber or foam sprint car tires? I am having trouble finding foam to restore one.
If you want rubber then BRP has them.
I have not bought any rubber from them yet, so we need someone to chime in here and state what sizes to buy.

The bolt pattern (4 bolt ) is the same as run now for the rear. The problem will be the front. Most rabbits have the bearings in the wheels. So you will need raco gn hubs so you can bolt the wheels on the front. Just tell Todd at brp what your doing he will get you what you need.
