The reason I'm even considering the MIP's is that I can go to a standard 17mm wheel nut instead of some stupid oversized flanged nut for holding the wheel on. I have the flanged nut on my Savage Flux and absolutely hate it! I've heard good thing about the MIP's lately and should be able to sell my UE's to recoup at least some of the cost of the MIP's. Any opinions on this? My main goal is to get to 17mm hubs instead of the 23mm I have on now since all my other vehicles run 17mm.

I don't really like the washer/nut setup either, but I do like the UE CVDs. I think I'd get some of the MIPs with the Traxxas 17mm hubs.
Personally, I'd go all out and get the RD Racing or Tekno knuckles, with siders and 8mm axles. That'll allow you to run most any 17mm hub, and you'll have beafy 8mm axles, but I don't know your setup, so you might not even be able to go with the 3.3 knuckles or the sliders.
