| kit wheel fix
After glueing my R35 's to my kit wheels I found that running 3S was flogging out the nylon hex . I put a small ring cut off a piece of 3/4"copper tube into my tube expanders (A plumbing tool ) and stretched it just a bit so its a tight fit . A drop of epoxy to secure them and all is good , nylon cant expand inside copper tube and hex's stay intact. been running them for a couple of months with no issues. thats the rear , the front has to be flush with the edge of the hex for clearance.
