|  Thin 7mm socket for hub/wheel nut?
So I bought a set of used beadlock wheels. The problem is I can't find a socket that is small enough on the outside to fit. I files my plastic wrench that came with the kit. But it seems that one is slipping now.

Depends on the size of the axle nut. Grind down a 7mm socket to fit. It will be super close to fitting/taking too much socket material. I found and use a 7mm orange handle 7mm O'Donnell driver that fits. Or slw hub??? Maybe? SWorkz SST 7mm Nut Driver [SWX-620010] | Maintenance - AMain.com - AMain.com |

I use one of these wrenches: Thunder Tiger Cross Wheel Wrench & Fuel Tubing [TTRPD1974] | Maintenance - AMain.com - AMain.com It fits inside a SLW hub with no mods so it should fit most other wheels. |

I use a Duratrax 7mm nutdriver on metric wheel nuts, but this Dynamite driver looks much thinner and the Duratrax has been discontinued. Dynamite 7mm Machined Nut Driver [DYNT2014] - AMain.com I've occasionally used this Craftsman nutdriver too. Craftsman 7mm nutdriver - Sears.com And Associated has this 7mm T-handle wheel nut wrench.

I almost wonder if there's a smaller size nut that would still fit the threaded shaft.

I bought this wrench from Yeah racing. Never been a nut driver fan, hard to get enough torque through a screwdriver handle. Wanted something similar to the big wrenches for 1/8 scale buggy nuts and better than a kit wrench so far pretty pleased.   |

I'm always into spending money, but couldn't you guys just buy the cheap traxxas cross-wrench/wheel-wrench. I got one with my mini-erevo, been using it for my SLWs with no issues. If you check eBay they even come with the rest of the Allan keys that every other traxxas what-have-you comes with.

I have the Losi branded version of this which is little bit nicer, they are both hex drive, 8-in-1 Hex Wrench Kit | HorizonHobby THen I bought Team Associated socket drivers to go with it, great trailing/crawling tool in your pack or pocket to reduce weight carried with you and very high quality. They have metric and sae, thinwall sockets and other drivers. https://www.teamassociated.com/parts/tools/ |

I took my fat one to the bench grinder, then it was skinny.

I use a Team Associated 7mm nut driver bit in my Makita electric screwdriver w/ clutch. Automatically kills power when it's tight. Also works great on my yeti bead locks. Last edited by CamaroTom; 09-24-2015 at 04:37 PM. |
