|  repairing stripped wheels
I have a set of 2.2 axial beadlocks that the hexes have stripped out of. I epoxied the hex adapters into them and the have been fine for a few years now. I am building a new scaler inspired by Crispy and want to use these wheels. The problem is that on wk axles the track width is too narrow to allow the body (a stock dingo) to sit low enough and the tires cannot turn. I need to extend the track by approximately 10 mm per side. How can I do this with the stripped hexes in the wheels?

SLW hub mod would be the way to go.

They are $14.99 per pair and make sure to get 4-40 screws. | |
