I'm running some exceed rc maxstone 40 series that use a 23mm hex. Got the hubs off a guy on Facebook Wayno Murphy or his page mad fab motorsports. No more rounding out rims lol

There are a few, some might need modifications depending on which size hub 23 or 24 mm and/or if you have the RTR or kit stub/axle, both have 8 mm axles but RTR uses 2.5 mm pin, 3 mm for kit. For the RTR you can use HPI 102530 for 24 mm hubs it has an 8 mm opening but 6 mm on the other end you might need to open it up, for 23 mm you can use the integy Universal Wheel Hex Adapter 17 mm-to-23 mm C23043 . For the kit using 23 mm hub the cen racing GST or colossus hub, 24 mm hub however needs more modification involve like the Losi 24 mm hubs they have 12 mm axles you will need a 8 x 12 x 19 mm spacer and drill a 3 mm center hole about 4 mm from the end. You can also use Maxx aftermarket 1/5 hubs for the RTR and you need to drill the axle hole to 8 mm, Losi LST based 1/5 hubs for the kit and you will need to shim the axle 0.75 - 1.5 mm depending on your preference.

Good to hear !! I'm building a tug/crawler with Exceed 1/5 drivetrain and I wanted to set up my YXL's to 23mm as well.... I've heard that 24mm is a better option because of the bigger selection? Is this true?
