Hi, i have revo 2.5r with stock 14mm plastic hub adapter and i looking for 17mm hub, can anyone tell me which brand will fit except Traxxas splined,Ofna?
 
I use the Ofna 17mm adapters and they work great. Maximizer also makes a great set, just to give you a couple of options.

Those plastic washer snap way too easy. The Ofna hexes are decent but made of a very soft aluminum, they develop slop quickly. I think the Traxxas hexes are the best bolt on option at the moment.
 
i have the ofna ones. i was stripping the 14mm's in less than a tank. I've had these for almost a gallon and i just took one of the wheels off and the hex looks perfect.

you have to check though, there are WAY more 23mm wheels then 17mm wheels. you may want to go 23mm.
 
i have the ofnas with proline rims and havent had issue one with them and I'm on prolly half gallon

Have you actually had one snap?

If so, did the nut come loose first?

I raced 2 seasons on the same set and never had one snap. I also make sure the nuts are tight after each run.
 
i have a revo with traxxas aluminum 14 mm hexes, never once have i had a problem with them. but just recently i upgraded to some proline 23mm mainly cuz of there array of wheel selections you can choose. 17mm doesn't have a big selection.
so JMO i would stick with good quality 23mm or a good quality set of 14mm
 
The ones on the hpi savage fit. i once bought these 23mm that said (for savage) & i used them on my revo, they were a perfect fit. i dont see why 17mm wouldnt fit.
