What are you using them on? The second one is a clamp on style and is what comes on the LCC (Losi Comp Crawler). It also uses a 5mm through hole for the axle. I have used them on my LCC for over a year now without problems, with the wheels you have pictured. The first one is for the 1/18th Losi mini crawler and uses a 4mm through hole for the axle.

I will use those on my RedCat Racing RS10. It a 1/10 Crawler but the original hex have some "levels" and so do not fit the Losi comp Crawler wheels... http://www.redcatracing.com/s.nl/it.A/id.2064/.f And for the LOSA3186 they say: "These wheel hexes are 5.7mm wide", wich means... Are they speaking of thickness?? And if it is what is the thickness of the LOSB1461? They are both 12mm hex but the comp crawler is 1/10 crawler and the mini crawler is a 1/18 crawler... So why that difference? And what is the beefier mounting? Last edited by Big Pitt; 10-09-2010 at 04:40 PM. |

The hexes in your pic are for axial style wheels. The losi wheels require a flat, touring car style 12mm hex. The 5.7mm is the thickness. The comp crawler is a "team" ride, the mini is not, so its got a few nicer parts. Im not sure how thick the mini truck hexes are. Both types of hex stay put when you pull the wheels. | |

Me again, I've also find those aluminum hex: They are made by "X Spede" and they are thicker than usual, with 1mm offset so thay are 7mm thick. I have notice that at maximum angle when steering my wheels scratch against the steering links, so could those hex act as spacers? |

I have had bad experience with the clamp on style hexes. The small screws are difficult to get tight enough without stripping the threads. They have also more slop in the wheel because of the way they work. I would just go with some fixed hexes. You could also mill or file down the cylindrical part on your current hexes. |
