Real 17mm hexes

those 5t axles are just truggy axles... any 1/8 buggy or truggy uses them... i just converted my Mad force to them... work wonderfully :)

hyper 7 ones are dirt cheap too... and more than strong enough for crazy bashing :)

I'm talking about the axles, not the hexes. That's why the axles are nice, then you can use the more universal 'uggy hexes.

They have offset hexes too to gain more width if needed.

There are a number of cheap integy hexes on ebay. They have upto 9mm offset, but there is one set that goes upto 12mm offset, but is not on Integy's ebay store. There used to be a number of hexes for the hypers that had large offsets too, but I can't seem to find them anymore.

So some truggies use the same size dogbones as a Flux? They are 11mm ball ends.

So what we would need are some nice cheap truggy axles and 17mm hex hubs that can handle the power. Axles should have dimemsions of 8mm diameter axle with cup to take 11mm ball from dogbone and hex hub pin hole about 14mm from the back of the cup.

could be used in a savage so that 'normal' 17mm mounts like the ones on the Vorza could be used. I haven't seen reports from anyone who has actually tried it though.

I don't have much trouble with the stock Flux nuts but the proper 17mm nuts would be easier to work with i think. Anyone know if there are other off the shelf solutions other than the Integy one? The Integy ones look to come in a variety of offsets too which could be handy.

I think I may have to make a purchase from Integy as well.

Well, I found what I was looking for:



Found this on another forum. Looks like the Integy Alloy Hex Adapters work perfectly. Here's the link to them:

Looks like it adds a bit of offset. Bit pricey compared to the other Integy ones with larger offsets.

I love the way that looks. Seems pretty stiff with no play, and it looks like it belongs on there. I have some other maufacturers adapters, but I will have to try a set of these as well for comparison.
