Jens Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I have been looking like crazy for Hex Wheel hubs in a specific size and cannot find them. Maybe someone can help? I am looking for 12mm Hex wheel hubs with a 6mm inner diameter. Something similar that are used for a Traxxas TRX-4. ( But the TRX-4 ones don't fit on my Rustler ) Maybe there are models that come out of the factory with 6mm driveshafts and 12mm hexes?

I am hoping to find Alloy or other metal ones. The previous ones were plastic and didn't last long. Here is an example from ebay with 12mm but only with a 5mm hole (I need 6mm): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12MM-WHEEL-HEX-HUBS-TAMIYA-1-10-ALLOY-02134-102042-RC-CAR-HPI-HSP/313184347545?hash=item48eb3de599:g:GNAAAOSwvSJfQVLj Some sellers advertise a 6mm hole. Bought one of them just to figure out that they are only 5mm. Had to return them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can modify those ones on eBay for you , I’m a RC parts manufacture base in the uk , I mainly cater for 1/5th buggies , but do from time to time do 1/10th and 1/8th parts .

Jens Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Oh. I see. Cool! Looks like I am lucky with you. 😇😇😇 Can I tell you what I need? And can I presume that you understood the part that I need, based on my description and the link above as example? I need a wheel hex hub with these measurements: Outer diameter 12mm hex. Inner diameter 6mm round. Thickness 8mm. The type that I look for is the one where I first put a pin into the axle and then slide the hex hub over. I hope you understand. I would guess that you just take an existing hub with a 5mm hole and then expand the hole to 6mm. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones in the link are just an example I quickly looked for. These would the ones with 8mm thickness: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4PCS-12mm-Wheel-Hub-Hex-Drive-Extension-Adaptor-For-1-10-RC-4-UK-FAST/313344027728?hash=item48f4c26c50:g:4gEAAOSwPktf2IkL Just a question: You widen the bore with perfect precision, right? I want to fix them on my Rustler VXL tuned to go 65mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
