WTF?? need help with CEN buggy -
10.30.2009, 03:42 PM
when i got my cen matrix buggy from Jason, it was missing a wheel nut, so i bought 4 ofna wheel nuts from amainhobbies. apparently, not all 17mm wheel nuts have the same thread pattern.
of the 3 hobby stores near me, none of them stock CEN stuff, so i need to know which other brands will fit (obviously, ofna jammin won't)
so, which brands WILL fit?
They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
since i got all the stuff i needed to finally run my buggy, i was planning on making a run to the hobby store but none of them sell CEN stuff.

I'm not positive, but I think the HPI nuts fit the CEN. Going way back in the memiry banks here. There are quite a few different brands that will work. Just bring the buggy down to the LHS with you and try them to find one that fits. It doesnt need to be CEN brand.
I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
you may try losi's, I lost a losi one, and none of the others I had around the house would fit it, (ofna, sportwerks, couple unknowns) so maybe its the same as yours. I too was stumped, as I figured they were all the same.
To bad that there are so many different ones....totally unnecessary IMO. I do however understand that co's need to sell products
1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S
i ended up going to my LHS and got a pair of AE wheel nuts and they fit. they were a little pricey at $6 for 2 though. thanks for the quick replies.
