RC Driving Style
Hello, Let me introduce my self , I'm Daniel and i just started This whole RC Hobby :), My neighbor gave me his old 1/10 RC car, There were a few Problems with it, but so far i have been able to fix most of them,once i got the engine running, every time, i would move the car, the right Back wheel would fly out, After inspecting the car, i noticed i could not Screw in the back wheel too much (sorry Bolt)too much or the tire would not move. I took it apart, and i saw that my neighbor switched this Part, Which i dont know the name for it

,i need a slightly bigger one , same adapter, but one with more thread , since this one is too small.
I need your Guy's help to finding the name of the part, and where i might be able to buy the same one just a little bigger :)
Please and thank you :)

The car is super dirty right now, I'm just taking it appart to clean it and install the new motor ,

This is how the other side looks like, this side works great and no tire flys out

If that's an HPI Clone, it's probably an older Nitro RS4. Take it to your local hobby shop and see if they have some RS4 parts that you can try to match up to it for closer identification.
 
The thing is , my LHS doesn't have any, they told me too look online and look for the brand of my car, which for me is unknown
Here are a few more pics, The all BLACK one is the original, its the kind that 3 of the tires have , while the SILVER one is the one that the right back tire had, As you can see the silver one is smaller , which makes my tire fly out, i need to get one like the black one , but I'm clueless as to the name, model ,anything ... size ...

Get some measurements of the part and we may be able to find something for you. Take measurements of one that works vs the shiny one that doesn't.

Measure it in mm's as many are listed that way.

Yellow to yellow
yellow to green
blue to blue

Should have mentioned an overall length as well of the cup/axle and also the length of the dogbone itself.

Here are a few from HPI:

As you can see, they all vary in length.
