Default Wheel Adapters.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a 12-14mm wheel adapter like a Bender or Junfac one that adds no width.

Here's an example (Junfac):
http://www.thecrawlerstore.com/image...mm_adapter.jpg

RcGuy used to sell them in aluminum and they rocked, but I can no longer find them on their site. The Bender adapters rock too, but he only makes them in 17mm and 23mm sizes. I would straight up buy the Junfac ones, but I've heard of people striping them out and I can't afford to loose a wheel adapter mid coarse.

Any thoughts? I'm trying to keep this rig as narrow as possible to decrease the scrub radius so any adapter that adds width (TTR, CPE, ect...) is not an option.

Thanks!

rc4wd has these adapters: http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=274

and these are a direct 14mm replacement for the stock 12mm hexes: http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=581

I have the same problem (just obliterated a set of the Junfac ones), and I'm now thinking about the RC4WD ones. Thing is, RC4WD has a REALLY bad rep for crappy shipping times, and i've heard of people waiting months to get their stuff...

Yup, I've heard the same for years now.

But I took a chance, ordered them last night and supposedly they shipped today. That means I should have them Tuesday or Wensday if they actually did ship.

I ordered 2 6t pinions from RC4WD's ebay store, and got my parts in a couple days.

Yeah......woops.

4Link, I got the replacement hexes, I really don't have intentions of putting CVD's on this rig so these will be fine.

They work well, I just wish they where thicker so I didn't have to use a spacer between the wheel and the nut on the stub axle.
