My super and 14r run 17mm hexes. I feel it's a much better hex size and the buggy hexes are IMHO,a much better deal than regular wheelnuts.

I'm running the 17mm's on my super I really like them. Little more durable then the 14mm's.

No there isn't. All of the 2.2's I've ever seen come in 12mm.

I think a 17mm hex for 2.2 is a little overkill. I like overkill though. I'd like to see some.

I've got Axial 40 series locks that are 17mm and Proline 40 series locks that are 17mm. My 14r is running Kyosho buggy wheels with a 17mm hex. I'd like to see an affordable lock in the buggy size with a 17mm hex. May have to just build a set. It's kinda nice if everything uses the same hex size. That way if you wanna try different tires or swap out between coarses,it's a quick swap.
