Does anyone know if this: HB Steel Brake Hub will work with this:HPI Stainless Brake Kit?

My cup had notches wore in it pretty bad. Bad enough to bind and lurch around. The front one was worse than the rear, but the front cup is stock, so I replaced it. I bought the truck with this kit on it (stops on a dime with minimal effort), so I didn't realize the rear hub wasn't stock. So, now I have 2 heavy duty HPI cups coming in the mail and I picked up two standard stock cups at the LHS... so I'll have 3 to replace the front one with, but none to fix the rear one.

I'd rather buy the $9 part than buy the whole HPI kit. The disk are hardly worn as well are the pads. I couldn't find the cup only on tower. All I could find was the HB one.
 
Not 100% certain on this, but that looks to be designed for the stock brake set-up. The dual disk set-up has a smaller hex. I will look around and see what I can find out about getting just the hub.
 
Sky,

It's not a big deal, but if you can find anything, let me know. I think your right about the size though. I think the HB dual brake disks have the same size hole in them as the stock brake disk.

If worse comes to worse, I can put the stock brake and hub back on since you included those in the extra parts I bought. Or I can just spend the $13 on the full HPI kit.
