Glue/epoxy the drive hex into the wheel. Downfall is you can loose the drive pin when removing wheels, but hey, you didn't have to buy a new wheel.

I stripped out a stock AX-10 wheel and JB-Welded a plastic hex into it. Worked good for a few more monthes, then the drive pin ate through the plastic hex. If'n you JB-Welded an aluminum hex into the wheel it would probably be as good as new. |

Wrap a hex with plumbers teflon tape, then JB weld the hole and stick the hex into it. When it dries you can remove the hex and it will be almost as good as new.
