Ok so I was bashing on my ERevo and when I did a 180 the wheel ripped off and went rolling away, probably about 20ft to the side. Was hilarious except for the fact the wheel is ruined, the bold stayed on the axle so heres my issue. I want to put on better wheels, can I use center bolts that the summit has on the erevo? Is there any upgrade so the wheels stay on better? I know they offer pretty much anything and everything for this truck so I was curious. FYI it needs to be able to handle a brushless upgrade.
 
Check prolineracing.com they have lots of wheels to choose from, and if you really want too. . .you could upgrade to the 23mm hexs and that would definatly handle the power of brushless.
 
going to jump into this thread here and ask if the 17mm hubs will handle a picco red dot? i am going to be upgrading soon and don't know if the 23mm are rally nessecary. i am currenly still usinf the 3.3 and i have the old 13mm hubs
 
17mm hubs can take anything you throw at them. Losi has the most durable dish wheel in a 17 mm. Traxxas wheels are cheap, don't even bother with them. The only whels I have ever stripped due to loads of power are HPI and Traxxas and Proline 14mm hex. I have never stripped a 17. 23 mm hexes are fading out, with very few wheel options.
 
as long as you know what the hex's are on the rims and you have the same hex adaptors it should work just fine
