Where can I get em?

Can't find much at all in 23mm hex.
 
You may be able to find some Prolines, you'll probably have to watch ebay though, they stopped making them. I believe CEN's MT uses 23mm hexes, I'm not sure what size wheels though. I believe Integy makes them as well, hopefully their plastic holds up better than their aluminum.

If it wasn't so close to Christmas, I'd probably grab these for my XXL.

Hmmmmmmm?????? I didn't know the wheel nuts on a Revo are 23mm. (I have one so now I'll have to go look). Wheel nuts for a Revo are probable dirt cheep. Find the wheels you want and then buy whatever size wheel nuts you need.

I'm thinking he's running some after market hexes. Revo's come stock with a 17mm hex.
 
I've got a set of 17mm hexes (actually, 2 sets), they suck rather badly - loose on the axles, they flop around all over the shop.
I've got a set of 23mm hubs that have a nut to screw them onto the axle & are a tight fit, they are rock solid with zero slop.
There isn't enough room to get a nut onto the axle with a 17mm hub, so I can't see any other 17mm hubs being much better.

I want beadlocks coz I tend to blow tyres off the rims a lot & get sick of re-glueing them all the time.

40-series coz I've got a nice set of GRP tyres that await rims & there is a big selection of nice tyres down the track.

To me it makes more sense to buy a good set of rims & just change tyres when I flog them out - cheaper in the long run & less hassles.

Found some prolines on ebay, bit $$ on the postage, but may grab them anyway, they come with a set of bowties, so not too bad I guess.

Proline stopped making 23mm hex wheels? I just bought a 23mm wrench cuz I was planning on changing my XXL over to 23mm's and eventually was gonna do the same thing with my LST2-E.....or did you just mean they stopped making the 23mm beadlocks?

I think they stopped making them all together, I've only seen them on ebay. I couldn't even find them on Proline's website, even after searching for the part # I had.
I just grabbed a set of their 23mm hexes, I plan on using them for my 1/5 scale wheels. Eventually I'll get to work on that thing.
