Arrma 17MM Hex

[RBRC]

Quick question! Does anyone know if there is a shorter 17MM hex that would work on the Arrma Typhon 3s/223S? I want you use a different 17MM wheel nut and it will not fit on the stock 17MM hex.

Thicker wheels or washers behind the nuts or wheels. That's the thinnest Arrma makes & that I know of.

Cut them down with a jig/bandsaw or drill out the nuts and tap them all the way through.

Yeah, I don't know what to say other than what Greywolf74 mentioned. I ran into the same thing with a set of capped 17mm wheel nuts my Team Associated eBuggy. I just threw the fancy nuts in a box and didn't look back.

Put the regular open nuts on then the closed nuts on top.

That's what I did too.

What diameter are the axles?

You guys are all nuts by the way

I would just shop around and find a set that might work. Might take some trial and error. Possibility?

I thought that was a requirement to join? Strongly encouraged maybe?

Much cheaper. Parts in hand.

Is your rim fully seated in the hex? I run these on my 6s Typhon and Mojave.

Those look nice! Yes my wheels are fully seated, those Pro Line wheel nuts are just shallow.

Pretty looking wheel nuts, I thought of getting 24mm wheel nuts for my X-Maxx like JPRC had on his old red one. Also thought of doing the 17mm hex conversion to my future T-Maxx someday after i get it so i have more options for wheels and tires.
