suicideneil Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think you'd need the full kit, since the stock axles are designed for the push-on hexes & wheel nuts, not buggy/truggy style hexes ( I think the new hexes fit the new 8mm axles too, the stockers being 5 or 6mm ).

baz2011uk Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 only prob with the kit one the flux aint on the list for the savages it fits so i am really stumped if anyone can suggest what i need to get 17mm adaptors that would be great part numbers or links would also be a great help ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The Flux uses SHD dog bones which are thicker than normal nitro ones and wont fit in these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suicideneil Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Google-Fu will save you- check out the HPI forums or just spend a little time researching hex options- the answers are out there for sure, but you must find them, they wont find you...

baz2011uk Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 i have been gooooogling for a days now with no such answer it all seems like mods need to be done problem seems to be that the adaptors need modding in some kind of way due to the axles and dogbones i am new to rc so trying to learn as i go along but stumped on this can i not just buy a hub adaptor kit 17mm and just change the dogbones and axles? seems like the easiest way but cant see the combo i need to get them to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
