You need to ditch the stock plastic 14mm hexes and go to something bigger. 17mm minimum (and since you are going to buy some new wheels anyways). I like the 20mm losi hexes, but that requires that you convert to lst2 arms, hubs, knuckles, cvd, and wheels. Still a good idea if you plan to bash that aftershock hard. The lst2 stuff is much stronger.
