I was upgrading the plastic hex discs on the Traxxas UDR to the aluminum Hot Racing hex discs (the weakest link in the drivetrain). I run my UDR on 6S and apparently the plastic hexes are prone to melting and breaking.
Three of four swapped out easily, but the left rear hex was “melted/frozen” to the axle. I tried pliers and the BBQ grill lighter, and it is stuck solid.
Any suggestions on how to get this hex off without ruining the axle? My hobby shop has an extra axle and rear axle assembly in stock, but I’d like to salvage this one if possible.
Thanks in advance!
