I am going to try Proline 40 series beadlocks and rear 23mm adapters from the 5b. 5B rear hexes work on the Ramp so the 23mm 5b rears should too. I have the adapters and rims on the way. If they don't work I have another use for them so all is well. Im not sure which tire I want though..... The only thing iffy about fitment is the turning of the front when mounted. We'll know soon enough. Hopefully the beadlock can take more of a beating to the rim and the rubber than the glued style rims. I have high hopes because people have been doing this conversion to the 5b for a while. I think if the tire is too small maybe swap buggy gears around?
Here is a rundown on pricing of new items however they can be found as a deal on ebay.
Rear 23mm adapters X4 $60
40 series tires X4 $50
40 series 23mm beadlocks $64
40 series Racers Edge stiff sidewall foam $15
