This would've simplified the process since the only thing needed to be done to the adapters would've been to drill through with a 6 mm drill bit and then it would've slid on the stub axle with no slop.


I decided to stay with the way I did it at first because I now use Summit shafts on my Revo and I just don't have the tooling to machine a threadless stub axle with a CV style joint on the opposite end.

I wanted to see if I could come up with an 8mm set myself and decided to purchase some Firehammer stubs and convert them. I drilled them for the pin, and then cut them to length. They only cost like $9, and then I can use some of the 17mm adapters out there without issue. This is what I came up with using the HPI 17mm adapters with the fireHammer stub axles.
() I am having a full set up RCAlloy dogbones made for them.
