Default After market front tires are rubbing





Installed proline Denali's front and rear. On the front the nut carrier hing pin rubs when turning. Anyone else run into this?

Yup, those wheels might work with a wider hex. You should have got wheels that take an SLW hub so you can change the offset.

There's a set of Traxxas hexes that are a little wider. But they're plastic.

SO buddy had the thicker traxxas hexes. Got those on for now and trimmed the nut/bolt a little. Will work for now.

Those Lunsford hinge pins what length will I need I can find a 30.5 and a 31mm also the description on towerhobby says they are 3mm pins why did you need to drill out the arms?

3mm screws have an OD of 3mm, with the threaded plastic extending inward, those threads need to be removed if you're using a non-threaded part (ex. pins)
