Need help finding 17mm hexes to fit on crt.5!!! Integy (designed for traxxas)Dont fit

[R00ST]

I got my brushless crt.5 chassis off ebay and it looks pretty sweet! It is the PERFECT size for me... I wanted as close to rustler size as possible, and this will do it (mikes extended chassis).

Anyway...my biggest concern was putting these adaptors on it:

They fit the rustler axles just fine, so I was hoping/assuming they would fit the crt.5

They slide over and bolt up just fine BUT there is play/slop in them. I figured out that the crt.5 axle diameter is just slightly smaller than the traxxas axles. I tried sliding the crt.5 hex over the rustler axle to confirm this and it sure does NOT fit!

So... the integy hubs have a little bit of play when fully tightened down. I was thinking I could solve some of the problem by putting axle washers on in between the hub and the adaptor. I have not found any in my parts box yet (limited time to work on this truck when im at home). Think this would help, as it will pull the adaptor in tighter against the hub?

I am really diasspointed as I have tons of 1/8 tires I run on the rustler and REALLY want to run them on the crt.5!

I only have a single set (of 4) adaptors in my possession, so I was going to buy an additional set to run all 4 of the smaller offset (3/4 inch) adaptors since the crt.5 has equal length a-arms. Cant bring myself to make my parts order (need to get a lot of stuff... including my mod 1 pinions/bore reducer so I can actually run this little beast).

If anyone knows if another truck (rs4 mt?) or other have a slightly smaller axle diameter than the traxxas trucks, those would probably work. I just want to make sure before dropping another 25-35 bucks on some adapters (like new eras).


Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!
