so after more upgrades, i have found yet another weak link in this truck. i've heard mixed stories about the hex's, but now i have proven that the stock 14mm plastics will not hold up. with in 3 mins. of driving today i toasted a rear hex, replaced it, toasted that one, moved the wheel up front, replaced hexes, and toasted a front and another rear. sooooooooooooo, what size is best to upgrade to, 17mm or 23mm? i know mathmatically the 23mm will hold more, but in this application, which is best? i already have some 17mm aluminum adapters if i choose to just get some truggy wheels. my truck is down until i get this all fixed.
