17mm hex

[E-Revonut]

I picked up a set of axles with the RD 8mm stubs and 17mm hexes, all brand new on ebay for $19.99! I was merely looking for a chop shop set of axles to pick up cheap and came across them, bid and no one else did. I couldn't beleive it, they look to be excellent quality but I have yet to install them.

You might run into bearing issues. Your gonna need a 8mm outer bearing, which might not be easy or even possible to find. I can't remember the new bearing size for the new style knuckles, but you might have to get RD Racing knuckles or the Tekno ones.

@Mistercrash- Another option, and cheaper, is the Tekno kit. The RD Racing kit is something like $200 for the knuckles, axles and hubs, and the Tekno is only $80. Just a alternative to the RD and M2C.

You're talking about the axle carriers right? The mod I did are for the Ofna adapters, I didn't do any mods to the carriers. I used the modded Ofna adapters on the old TRX axle carriers, the RPM axle carriers, the RD Racing axle carriers and the new TRX carriers introduced on the Platinum Edition Revo which I'm still running now. The modded Ofna adapters end up costing under $30 total not counting my time. Time spent in my garage is priceless

I was just referring to where you said the most durable and slop free was the RD Racing with the 8mm axles. I was just mentioning the new Tekno kit that is pretty similar, just uses plastic knuckles instead of the aluminum RD uses. Alot cheaper than the RD kit, since its the most expensive, by far.

Ok I get it. I read slow and you must have typed too fast so that's why I got confused I never tried the Tekno system, it looks interesting but I'm waiting on feedback of other people that have been using them for a while to find out if the aluminum rings they use on the carriers will really prevent the pillow balls from popping out. But right now, the Ofna adapters I modded and the TRX carriers with steel rings have been doing so well that I don't feel like changing anything.
