| maybe this might work i think i might have a cheap solution to your problem, it might not be clamping hexes but i had the stampede wheels on my tlt, and had the same problem, all i did was take away about 1/16 of an inch (on a lathe, but i'm sure a drill on a vise would work too)and use CA glue to set the hexes. Result, wheels locked to nylon and hexes didn't spin in rim. i dont know if this is solution for you but it seemed to wook for me. BTW, those wheels look really good with rockrings, kinda like MT (alcoa) wheels!!! GOOD JOB< NICE RIG!! |

I took the stock plastic hex and modified them a bit. I took off about a 1/16th of an inch from the thickness. That way the wheel slides on a little farther. All I need now is some low profile locknuts and I will be allset. I need to order some stuff from Fastenersexpress.com anyways. I like the way the wheels look. I call them "Poorboy Aluminum". Just sprayed them with some aluminum metalic finish Rustoleum. I plan to do the rock rings the same color with some aluminum button head screws. |

Well - got it all together and running. Ran the Jeep on the inside test rock pile. Have a few ideas to work out but overall it does nice. Can't wait for the weather to get better to take it out to the big pile and see how it does. Great work BrandO - one of the most fun driving crawlers I have. And yes the first scratch hurt.... Ed |

Thanks Ed, It's nice to see it on some actual rocks rather than soda cans. It looks right at home on the rocks.
