      Ah bummer, I also had to learn this the hard way as well, but definitely good info to make your wheels last!

    Good vid but what if I use Mips? Should I just get new wheels and use the washers?

    I can’t keep wheels on my rustler when running 3s… aluminum hex nuts and epoxy the wheel to them I still rip the center of the wheel off

      You can try adding blue locktite. How are your hexes?

    that what i hate obvious `1/10 SCT is the tiny hexes i just got into this rc stuff and knew that was a silly size choice. 17mm 1/8 buggy stuff is whats needed .i made 17mm aluminum hex from hex bar stock and washer shim behind pin to fit buggy wheels on SCT but i may convert it to like hpi or ? 1/8 th scale..thank for tips Be bledssed

      Good point, and this slash is a beast on 4S...I definitely need to convert to 17mm buggy hexes :)

      I had this issue too I just sanded down the little nubs on the back side of the hex and it fixed the issue idk if its a bad thing that I did but it seemed to work I will let you know if it breaks anything

      hmm, where exactly do the wheels bind up? Is it possible that the hexes are not the proper depth?

      @@ThePurpleBenchRC so the Hex hast nothing to Stop itself from compressing the bearings. So when i tighten Up the nut It presses the Bearings onto the inner wall of the bearings carrier and Then the top Part and the lower part of the Bearing touches the wall and wont Spin at all

      Actually, come to think of it, I've never had this problem with any of my Arrma's. Probably because they are 14mm or 17mm hexes. Arrma Tough lol :)
