Clamping hex hubs arrived today at last.

Actually it's not a straightforward swap. Got to go out now but I'll try to describe later.

Grrr

So basically (with hindsight I shouldve seen this coming), as the hubs are thinner than stock, with the wheels on and wheel nut tightened all the way down, there's still slack between wheel and wheel nut.  I think some washers will do the job.  btw I'm using pro-line wheels which have the correct ofset to fit these hubs perfectly.

Can anyone tell me the length of the stock steering links on the M8? I noticed mine are not even after a crash today95770250af31299b9c13192a2aa969a8.jpg

 

 

 

Cheers

 

Anyone fancy measuring theirs for more before i order a new set?

Just measured mine and they are 56mm, hope that helps although thats end to end and i have rpm ball ends that are slightly thicker material than the stock ones.

Near enough is good enough lol give me an idea of what they should roughly be!

Do you know the part number for the RPM ball ends as mine are a tad loose now

There's other colours but this is the correct length you need.

Edited link as it didn't work

Beyond annoyed with my 8ight-t now. Can't run it without it breaking, and not even under any heavy load. Today the motor shaft snapped. Seriously considering ditching this lemon now...
