Revo Axle's

[revoowner89]

So i just got myself some new holeshot tires for racing. I also bought m2c racing 17mm hex adapters to fit the wheels. Only problem is, my current axels are way to small. I'm assuming i need 8MM axles? I am using the stock axles that came installed on my 2.5r revo by the way. What a learning experience this has been.

Anyone have any recommendations? I shop alot at rcplanet.com.

Did you buy the 17mm kit with the adapters and hexes? The $40 one? Or did you buy the $25 hex set? I was told i need the more expensive set for the hub adapters to go to 17mm. Not sure of the part numbers for the kits but will search for a link now.

The stock axles should work just fine with the 17mm hexes. I am using the stock 2.5 axles with the traxxas hexes and have not had any problems.

I think thats my problem. MY hex adapters are from M2C racing, their plastic. I bought them off rcplanet but now i can't seem to find the link.

They didnt come with pins and my existing pins are way to small for these adapters.

Joshman, can you send me a link to your adapters?

The stock revo uses 6mm OD stub axles, any 8mm ID wheel hex wont work without bushing the difference.
It is best to purchase the 8mm stub axle to go with the 8mm wheel hex, or buy the 6mm wheel hex to fit the stock stub axle.

Even better if using the stock wheel shafts.

Thanks for the help!!!!! Those traxxas ones look alot better. Looks like the pin would stay more secure compared to the integy ones. Thankyou sir!

Best choice of them all IMO....unless you're serious The traxxas hubs have slop in them, and it's quite annoying.

These are the ones I am using and I have had no issues with them at all.
