Nothing specifically for large scale RCs that I'm aware of.

I found a wheel/ gear puller by Mascot hobby, it might work. The arms hook around plastic wheel and screw puts pressure on center hub.

I had a similar thing happen. I removed the hub carrier from the truck and placed it over a vice opened wider than the hub carrier. With a wooden dowel and a tack hammer I tapped my hub out of the wheel.

Thanks for the help, i ordered a wheel/gear puller made specifically for stuck wheels. I didn't know that such a thing was sold.

Thats awfully small to pull a xmaxx wheel off. I must not understand what you're trying to do.

I got my Traxxas Xmaxx used, they used a impact drill to tighten wheel nut. When they used a impact it cut a groove in plastic wheel so it got hung up on aluminum treads, I just need something I can hook on wheel and put pressure on center hub.

Pics would help. But that puller you ordered is nowhere near big enough to grab an X-Maxx wheel.

If it's torqued on I usually use a screw driver in the tire tool or an actual socket and rachet.

It the threads are damaged I would lightly Dremel the nut off to save what ever possible.

I measured it, it just has to grab a wheel spoke

2 came off ex other 2 are stuck, arms on tool move up and down.
