There aren't a lot of choices for 23mm hubs though. Proline's are about it, and I don't feel like they are all that great. The alum is thin and over time, the centers wear and become misshaped causing your wheels to wobble. I use another brand of 23mm hubs now, and they work GREAT. They don't work on Traxxas veh's though, because you have to use the Pro Line ones specific to Traxxas. Bummer. I generally don't tell anyone about them for fear that everyone and their brother will start using them, thus increasing the supply and demand... and the PRICE! They are dirt cheap now....
The other problem is... 23mm rims are somewhat hard to find too. However I've heard that HPI is coming out with a new hub size or something like that... which would allow us to use 1/5 scale rims and tires if we wanted. That could be cool.

The CEN 23mm hubs fit the LST2/XXL/Muggy axles better than anything and their made of steel. They can be found on Fleabay for under $15.00 delivered.
