Blackfoot wheel adapters

[Boomstick 156]

It seems like all the wheels out there these days are 12mm hex. Well as you know, the Blackfoot isn't 12mm... I found these adapters on eBay and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

I've not used them but, if you can ask the seller how wide the adapters are and they match the offset of your wheels I'd say go for it.

I bought these from a different seller, but they fit well though I haven't run it yet as I'm waiting for some shims to arrive (the fronts are a bit wobbly even when the nut is fully tightened).

The width of the front & back wheels is pretty close, but I haven't adjusted my steering rods yet so my front wheels have a toe-out at the minute. 

The only issue I have to resolve is when the rear suspension is compressed the inside edge of the tyre is very close to the motor wire.  I need to see if I have fitted something incorrectly or if not I may have to re-solder the wire to come off the motor sideways to increase clearance.
