| Those hexes will likely work, but be aware that the Axial beadlocks will probly be he next thing to go. |

| My axial beadlocks had the hexes strip right away, now the locking screws are stripping, I think the screws are too small, and shoudl be 3mm. If you can find a way, sepend the extra money to get a high end beadlock, sounds like Ericson's are the best you can buy, and how can you argue with a lifetime warranty. No other wheel maker comes close to that. If those are too expensive, I recommend RPM wheels. I've NEVER been able to strip a hex in one, and they come with their own hexes that you can use. Downside is you gotta glue the tires, but everything is a tradeoff. |

| The nitro rs4 aluminum hexes from tower work perfectly and they are only $5 bucks. |

| Not to hijack this thread, but I also spun a hex just today. So, I'm wondering what's better, in terms of longevity for both the hex, axle and the wheel, plastic or aluminum hexes? I mean, while aluminum hexes would never suffer damage when a wheel spins on 'em, does it tear up the wheel that much worse, and does it increase the frequency of broken axles/stubs? Do you spin a hex more often with aluminum or plastic? I was just thinking that with the forces we put crawlers under, maybe it's better to run softer, plastic hexes, so that the joint between the wheel and hex acts like a "fuse" of sorts, preventing the breakage of more expensive (and harder to repair on the trail) parts up the line? Or am I stupid and in need of a good beating? |
