|  Ax-10 Wheels? Broken?
The wheels on my 2 month old ax have worn out. the hexs spin in side the wheel? why did this happen? it started on the back wheels and now the front. The battery was on the back axle for a little while but is now in the front. what is a good replacement? i dont want to spend a ton but i also dont want this to happen again. Kinda off topic but do yall think the mudslinger 2.2s would be a good tire for an ax? Or should i get mashers? or Moabs? Thanks guys

Which hex did you use? the plastic or metal ones form the kit. Are you checking the Hex set screw to make sure it's tight. You could try to supper glue or jb weld the plastic hex's in the rims. Good luck.

The Junfac beadlocks are an inexpensive option, and they look great. The only real downside is that you will have to enlarge the hole in the center of the wheel if you plan to use the stock aluminum hexes. You can also shave the nipple (ouch) off the included (with the Scorpion kit) plastic hexes, they work great as well.

Primarily, hex wear is caused or aggravated by loose wheel nuts. Make sure your wheel nuts are tight every few runs and you can extend the life of your wheels considerably. | |

Go with some MSD beadlocks or RC4Wd ones. They dont strip hex's. Both can be a PITA to mount tire to but as long as the bead is in it wont come out and you will never strip the hex's  I own both and have no issue's with either set.

A friend of mine and I own a set of JunFacs. We have not had any issues withe the hexes spinning. Spun a couple of driveshafts in half but no hexes......I plan on getting any set of JunFacs.
