23mm Pro-Line adapter opinions? - 07.01.2008, 07:35 PM

People who actually run these, comments?

Trying to decide which adapter to get, either Pro-lines or Dace adapters.
Read through a bunch of threads, and I kinda get mixed opinions.

Keep in mind the Dace's will probably cost me $25+ over the prolines...

Spend the extra ducks and GO DACE !!! That's what I did. And yeah, they are closer to $50 new.

ProLine=Great Bodies/Great Tires.

I vote proline :) They worked great for me - just opted back to 17mm to standardize...

Thanks guys.

I sent an email to Dace. I ended up in my trades with an unopened package of Mugen MSR adapters ($56ish) and asked if he'll swap me for some Revo adapters ($46)

I'm trying to decide which to go with also. But I'm also not sure if I should go 17MM or 23MM.
Has anyone seen the new ones from Traxxas? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUTG9&P=7
No available until late August, but they look cool.

Another cheap alternative - the Maximizer adaptors http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXNWS2&P=ML

When considering which to get, 17's are common to most 1/8 buggy wheels, whereas 23mm is common to most 1/8 truggy, correct?


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES

Most truggies use 17mm.

I use the Maximizer 17mm adapters Mike sells I have never had a problem with them...I would go with an aluminum hex and not plastic

my two cents:
I have Pro-Line 23mm on my GEVO and love them, I've never had an issue one.

It's my understanindg that All of the buggy's & Truggies use 17mm stock, I know you can upgrade them to 23mm if you want.


Here are some speical 23mm racing one's for just under $100.00
