Vanquish SLW Wheel Hub Vs axial stock parts

[le varan]

Hi all,
I would like to change those axial plastic wheel hubs for vanquish parts.
If I want to keep the same front & rear width with the axial stock wheels what part number should I go for ?
thanks

For stock width:

225 for the fronts
725 for the rears

Don't forget the 4-40 screws.

Thanks hobbez84

I just did this upgrade myself. I found the stock axial plastic ones would warp and bend so the wheels would wobble. Waiting on rebuild parts for my MIP shaft and then I'll be able to test

Thanks OP for asking. I was searching the forum for the same thing.

Does anyone know who has these online?

I checked RPP Hobby and they are out of stock.

Loc tight, loc tight, loc tight!!! On the 4-40 screws and the wheel nuts and check the wheel nuts often. Other than that I am happy with the swap.

Had to use a 2.8mm drill bit to enlarge the current hole, due to the non metric srews, were to small. Turned it by hand.

Do not forget to use loctite and don't tighten them to hard the plastic of the rims are pretty soft !

I ordered the above and used them on the method wheels that came with the Yeti Kit version. They "walked" right off the wheels. I broke three Methods in the span of two batteries. I know I didn't onertighten. The only guess is the Methods are soft and there isn't a lot of contact area. I am now using the hubs with some generic plastic Axial wheels that were on off a used Yeti. Seems to be holding up but will likely get the new Proline wheles.
