They may look nice, but they don't offer any particular advantage over plastic hexes. Even worse, they may wear out your wheels by getting stuck in them.

I'd go for the clamp type hexes shown above. They're much nicer to use and stay fixed to the axle when changing wheels.

ok - ccol

Plastic wheel hexes can split and break.. Aluminium ones are a good upgrade if you need to replace the plastic ones..

The clamp style aluminium hexes allow the user to clamp them to the axle, which generally stops them coming off and getting stuck in the wheel when a wheel is removed..

I got the hexes I posted and they work great

[Problemchild]

what about these>>

I don't know what brand they are but avoid jazz rider, I bought some hop ups by them for my dt-03 aqroshot and was cheap junk aluminum

[GregM]

I  once bought some from Yeah Racing at Tamico, and they were fine. They're not as cheap as the ebay cheapies (you get what you pay for), but not as expensive as good Tamiya ones.

[Problemchild]

just bought yeah racing steering kit for the TT02 - £15 delivered from HKG

the only thing with those hex are they are 7mm and that seems a lot

The alloy hexes are usually available in many different thicknesses. If in doubt, I'd measure the thickness of the plastic hexes supplied with the car to know what I need. Thicker hexes are able to provide a different offset/track width, but make sure there's enough thread on the axle shaft left for the wheel locknut.

[Problemchild]

ok ta - had a measure and mine are 5.5mm with quite a bit of thread showing 

so i've ordered a set of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141894251692?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

£1.69 delivered can't be bad

also if the wheel nut's locking is compromised they will make nice ear rings??

JJ

[GregM]

Please tell us how they perform once if they arrive from Hong Kong.

 

EDIT: Typo corrected.

[Problemchild]

once/if haha

JJ

[GregM]

Whoops. I sometimes have trouble differentiating between once, if and when. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Problemchild]

i'll post up the cheapo parts i've bought in my thread
