Does Any Body Have Experience With These - 12.26.2006, 11:24 PM

Does any body have any experience with the maxx ofna 17mm hex hubs. I have these now for my maxx(got them for X-Mas) and i was wanting to know if they hold up to Brushless power(i will be using standard dish wheels, 7XL, 4s lipo, and slipperentail). JohnnyMaxima said that he used them and they striped his wheels off. Does anybody have any sucess with them. Should i keep them or trade them and 5 bucks in for a set of proline ones. (Note i am not going with dace, not because i don't like them this is just one of those things i am going to be buying at my LHS) Thanks

I havent had any issues. I have been using them on my e-revo for quite a while now. and actually just got a set for my maxx cuz I want to be able to swap wheels from truck to truck without hub size issues. Some have complained... but I personally havent had a problem. I actually like them better than the Maximizer adapters. I hate the loose washer thing under the nut.

But... That said. Dace 23mm are the best. If its beteen the ofna and the proline stick with the ofna IMO. I have heard the prolines have ussues with wear at the pin, but I personaly havent tryed them.

Just make sure you keep the nuts on the Ofnas nice and tight and you shouldnt have any problems. At least I havent.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I personally never had an issue with the Prolines when I used them. I use the Dace now though.

I use the dace myself. I had the prolines but the pin cut into the aluminum on it.


Peace!
