alby78 2 Posted January 6, 2018 Hello, I'm from Italy and I'm looking for a 12mm Front Hex Wheel Adapter for Grasshopper. Unfortunately the only one I can find around is that one and the seller doesn't ship to Italy: https://www.ebay.it/itm/HPI-Proline12mm-Front-Hex-Wheel-Adapter-Tamiya-Grasshopper-Frog-Kyosho-RC10-FX10/273002322252?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Yesterday I asked him if he could make an exception to the rule but he hasn't answered till now. Do anyone of you have an idea where I can find that article with the possibility of a shipping to Italy? I have also another idea: I could buy it, putting shipping to one of you living in the US. And then give money to him for a shipping to Italy with a tracked system. Could anyone help me? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frog Jumper 3200 Posted January 6, 2018 I just recently bought a set of DT-03 adapters. You might want to try a search on that and see if you can find another seller??? This is what I bought: http://r.ebay.com/GgLkHz Good luck! Terry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alby78 2 Posted January 6, 2018 Hi thanks, I got the DT-03 ones but they are not good for me. Or probably I must have other things to adapt them. I don't understand. The hub rod is too short fo the tyre I would like to mount and in any case, I don't understand also as the system can work, because when I tighten the nut, the wheel can't rotate. Are they made for a rotating hub rod? Don't know... but the nut fix the wheel against the rod. So I would like to try the Proline kit. But That's the only seller I can find. On the Proline website no mention to that kit. Maybe out of stock?! Anyway if you don't know other sellers, the only solutions I can find are: - that seller decides to ship to Italy - an american guy, rc fan like me, helps me with a triangular shipping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max69vk 707 Posted January 7, 2018 The DT03 adapters are for a fixed front hub axle, if you back off the wheel nut does the wheel start to rotate? Using hub extenders shouldn't affect things either, I can only guess that the wheel nut is pinching the bearing/adapter when tightened which in turn locks the wheel up.

Tamiyabigstuff 781 Posted January 7, 2018 Maybe Tamiya part 53913 is what you need ? https://www.tamiyausa.com/items/radio-control-parts-70/hop-up-parts-72000/rc-frog-2005-alum-wheel-adapt-53913 You can find it on ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, but that part is for the rear axle only, I bought it and I've already mounted on the car. The problem is the front axle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
