New wheel and hex set options?

[Cranberry Juice]

My 1/18 Ruckus has been a monster for close to 7 years now, with a few repairs and upgrades. The tires and hexes have never been replaced and are now stripped and extremely balled. I can't find replacement options anywhere, and the parts for the car are discontinued. Any recommendations?

Am I looking this up wrong?

There might be aftermarket or a better set up for the truck but if you got several years from yours, I'd stay right with stock!!!
I bet theres tons of tire and wheel options too. Again, seems you did well with the stock set up.

Yeah, I just started noticing that if I was turning and I tried to return to center it would start drifting, and it has no grip. It also has a 5° tilt on the wheels.

Not worn in the linkages or bushing/bearing wear?
Sounds like a tought little truck!

I have replaced the bearings once, everything else is fine. Surprising for a mostly plastic car.
