mephisto Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, I have a HPI Sprint 2 Flux and I'm trying to use foam tyres as it is quite cold now and rubber simply can't do it. It seems I'm running on soap. The problem with the foam tyre available on the shops, all of them have no room inside the wheel for the suspension arm to protrude in, so the wheel locks on the suspension arm. One way around would be to add some washers, but then my hex nut which is 5mm thich will become 2mm for example at the rear and I think this will not be enough to hold the wheel in place. I was trying to look for 12mm hex nut with 7 or 8mm thickness but no luck. Do you guys know if they exist? Thanks!
