Right is it me being a perfectionist here or are the proline/associated 'flat faced' wheels with the little proline logo crap? i have about 4 pairs of these wheels + lunsford titanium bits wherever they will go including the front shafts and i have some quality bearings but no matter how much i change the bearings around and swap the wheels they just are seriously unbalanced and make the buggy handle so rubbish as they judder so much. I need help guys ???

I don't want to sound like a perfectionist either but is there any chance of some punctuation so that makes any sense?
If your questioning the balancing of the wheels then I dare say rour right and that they aren't perfect, but I can't honestly say I've never noticed on the 20 odd sets I have. Also your going to add an unbalanced tyre, which is likely to then have spikes trimmed off that will likely reduce the balance further (unless you are very lucky/skilled).
All in all, I reckon your barking up the wrong tree if your car isn't handling very well!

the front wheels wobble on my b3 when i lift it up and move them but as soon as its on the ground they run ok.
unless u glued ur tyres really bad then it aint the tyres and wheels that are makin ur b4 not handle :P

if you are that unhappy with them there is a link on RC10b4.com that shows you how to modify it so you can run losi front wheels.
Doint that mod also saves having to take the bearings out of the wheels everytime you change them as the bearings are in the hub.

True but it prevents you running the in-line axles that the B4 needs!!

Again for the sake fo balance.
Aptional, driver preference. I use them sometimes but don't consider them essential!

But you can't get in-lines for the Losi conversion can you...... Plus that coversion forces you to swear every time you ask for spares ... ;D
