Default Aluminun Wheel Hex nuts for CR-01?

I was wondering if anyone could suggest an aluminum wheel hex for my cR-01. I'm looking around at a number of stores and not finding much at the moment. I'd think this wouldn't be an issue, so I'm wondering what other vehicle hexes I might use?

Also, I have a set of Rock Lizards on Axial beadlocks, and noticed the hole for the axle is much larger than some of my other rims, and was wondering if there's a piece I'm missing, or if the Axial uses thicker output shafts?

Thanx

most 12mm aluminum hex nut will work.

That's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure, thank you!

yeah the axle hole is larger on those and on Proline wheels. It doesnt seem to affect the way mine runs since the wheel is riding on the aluminum hex and not the axle.

I just thought it was a bit odd, and was a bit concerned about wobble, but I guess the hex and the outer nut really hold it all together.

Here's a linik for the Axial nuts which protrude into the rim: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...P=7#partsusage

This is what I use on all my Tamiya cars that use 6mm hexes like the CR01 and CC01
