17mm hex

[mistercrash]

The two kinds of hexes I can think of right now that are very durable and slop free are the RD Racing or M2C hexes on 8mm stub axles. But also the most expensive. The cheap way I decided to go a couple years back was with Ofna adapters with some modifications. If you can do some work and have a few tools, here's what I did.

The problem with running 17 mm adapters on the Traxxas stub axles is the small amount of slop gets bigger as the adapters get eaten by the threads of the stub axles.


Here's a drawing of what I did.


and now for the step by step part. Once you click the thumbnail, read the small text underneath the big pic that explains the procedure.
