Decided to try the HPI Nitro SAVAGE 21 25 SS or 4.6 Hub Hex Conversion Set 17mm Svg HPI87229 and may be some SPI wheel'sI'm starting to round out my 17mm hex wheel's , would like to know what is the best 23mm up grade , so far I rounded out a proline desperrado 17mm and a Axial 8 Spoke 40 Wheel 17mm
thanks for your help
What I do to my stock 17mm hexes is buy a new set of hexes for every set of rims you have and glue them into the rims with ca glue. Works on rounded out rims to set the hex into the rim find some ash and pack it in around the hex then add glue.
let me add to what was said above. Always keep the wheel nut tight. I have never had a 17 mm hub fail or take out the rim that was not the result of a loose nut. I did run 23's for a while but there was truly no need for them on these models.
GL and keep up the good work
I feel yea ... Over tight is an issue also. HPI rims crack at the corners. Best bash wheel I found was proline dish.Thanks for the info ,after the first wheel striped out I tightin them very tight even striped one lug having it so tight and lots of lock tight :lmao4:
gona try the glue Idea being I have 3 or 4 extra set 17mm hub's , I'm still gona use this stripping problem to justify buying a set of SPI bashing wheels :lmao4:
, I'll let you no how it turns out , working 7 days a week so mit be a while
