GB-01 Frog Wheel adapters to 12mm hex in 2022...

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I recently bought a GB-01 TamTech Frog from Japan, and i love it. I placed a 7800KV brushless motor and ESC into it and it runs amazingly quick on 3s. I was wondering if anyone has updated information on any "other" company besides 3Racing that ever made the 10mm hub to 12mm  hub adapters? I've read and seen (in photos only) the GB-23/SI kit that has the front and rear extended but converted, hex adapters, but i can't find any other company that ever made an adapter to allow running 1/10 scale touring class wheels. These would fit the build perfectly and i would love to see if any of you have found a replacement that would work.

I was thinking that a 3D printed hex ring would work as well, placed inside the 12mm hex wheel adapting it down to the 10mm drive hubs. 

Please let me know if in the past 11 years since the last posts, anyone has needed and solved this dilemma i have. 

Thanks!

@nintool I have purchased a whole load of hex adaptors over the past few months including a bulk lot from a local guy. I will take a look and see if there is anything to the spec you’re after.

If you can find GT-01 spares, those came with 12mm hexes on one of the sprues from memory.

It IS very quick, it’s a 280 motor so it’s small enough to not completely overwhelm it. It actually performs amazingly well. Extremely stable under acceleration and cuts in to turns as good as any other larger model that I have. Like I said I just need tires that won’t burn off in 2runs lol! 
 

thanks again for the tip.

thanks guys I appreciate the quick replies and helpful suggestions. I found these luckily on Tamiya.com yesterday and ordered them. https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/tt-gear-spare-parts/rc-d-parts-suspension-arm/ I believe that "Kiasukid" you appear to be correct, in that it definitely looks like a larger hex in the photos. Hopefully that will be the case. I'd much rather use an OEM product than a 3d print, mainly for the tensile strength. Again, much appreciated
