17mm hex/adapter for a 5mm axle?????

[lincpimp]

Here is the best I can come up with.

First maximizer make an adapter from a std 12mm hex to 14mm. It is usable as most 12mm hexes are on 5mm axles. So it should fit the ls10 (and the crt.5, my intended use)

Now, GS Racing make an adapter to go from 14mm to 17mm. Iis basically a sleeve that fits over the 14mm hex to enlarge it to 17mm, a washer of sorts that is hex shaped and made of 1.5mm thick plastic.

I ordered the gs racing adapter and need to order the maximizer adapter from the lhs. When I get it in, next week, I will let you know how it works. I plan to use some buggy wheels with badlands tires. My only issue will be to figure out what nut and washer combo will work to hold the wheel on. Any idea or link to a flanged nut that will fit the ls10 and crt.5 axles?

doesn't the emaxx use a 5mm flanged nut?

It is one size too big on the thread, the ls10 and crt.5 use a m4 thread (I think), the emaxx is m5 or larger. They make a killer flanged nut for the savage, but it is too big (thread size) but it will fit the emaxx axles.

These are for the Lightning GT10 to make the stock GT10 14mm hex wheel fit it. Its a stock item and a direct fit for the Lightning Staduim 10. Not sure about a 17mm adapter though. Just thought Id throw it out incase it helps.

EDIT: With these hexes stock Maxx 14mm wheels work perfectly. I used them all the time on my nitro GT10.
