So basically, your doing a hex, and a pin style, like a pin on an evader car. I get it.

In the second picture you can see the screw head sticking out of the hex and through the slot in the rim.

If you are using wheel hub/hexes that have no extension, you can use a longer pin that holds the hex to the axle (drill bits work if you can't find the right pin). The part of the pin sticking out of the hex goes into the rim to do the same job as the screw aqwut used.
If you are using extended hexes then the pin will miss the rim and you would have to drill into the hex like aqwut.
Even if you slot the rim to put a srew or pin in personally I would still use the epoxy for extra strength.

i've used drill bits, jb weld, two part epoxy. Your best bet is new wheels. You could make it work, but only for so long. Keep your nuts tight and you won't strip a hex. I know you said it was due to cartwheels or backflips or drug muling from el salvador or something but 17mm wheels just don't strip with tight nuts.

Yeah, I stripped a couple out too. My E-Revo wheel nuts came loose, before I grooved the nuts to bite into the wheel better, and no issues now. Here is what happened to mine:

I ended up taking a scrap 17mm hub, coating it in cooking spray (dont tell mom )
setting epoxy on the rounded portions andpressing the greased hub into place, displacing the epoxy to fill the holes. Who knows how it will turn out.




Rim before epoxy... perfectly rounded.

Hard to tell from pic, but it looks like the epoxy overlapped the hub a little bit. No problem, just cut the excess epoxy from around the top of the hub before pulling it out, otherwise not even mom's cooking spray will help get it out.

Yeah, that was the old avatar, I have had dozens of requests to bring it back. I guess I will keep getting requests, since it was vetoed in favor of some boat picture? I put arms dealer kermit up to remind folks that I am in deed packin'!
