Which aluminum hexes fit?

[SStone]

I ordered some Axial wheel hexes with my TH in hopes that they would fit, but they do not. I ordered the weird ones with the protrusion on accident. Not a big deal, although I would like to find some that do fit.

I'm not being too hard on my Hammers yet so the stock hexes and pins may last a while. I would prefer to have an aluminum set to install for peace of mind.

I drilled the centers on my hexes to fit the rear axle. 5/16 if memory is right will work.

Badger used the ones off the hpi mini trophy I believe they use the same pin size the twin uses compared to tamiya and axial

I could drill the centers on mine, but the hexes are made for a larger pin and I don't feel comfortable having that much play in the hexes.

Thanks!!!

The Losi MRC aluminum hexs will work but the centers need to be drilled out.

I tested fitted the Slash front tall hex units and they work plus they widen the front just a tad. Now I'm going to order the Proline Slash front aluminum hexes and run them at all four corners. Should have pics soon.

I hope they have set screws like the axial hex's do the wider pin slot will allow slop and break pins like they are going out of style.

They do. I run them on my Slash and have been very happy with them:

I picked up a set of HPI Blitz ones from RPP. They work great.

Is the pin slot the correct size for the Twin Hammers pins?

Yep.

[awe55]

I used the ones for a 4x4 slash, they worked fine for me

[Tbuck]

Not sure, but I bet the ones for a Mini 8ight will work...just need to be drilled out.

STRC also makes an alum. hex kit for the Slash 4x.

Ordered the HPI Blitz hexes last night. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

The Losi Comp Crawler hex's will mount right up.

Clamping hexes are pretty nice. I'll give the HPI's that I ordered a try first though.

At least other folks can check this thread and see what their options are for direct-fit aluminum hexes.

[Tbuck]

Uhh...don't try Mini 8ight hexes. They're a no go, sorry for the bad advice.

I had a set of stock aluminium scx-10 hexes sitting around and used those, I only need to drill them out slightly. They also fit a lot tighter in the wheels than the stock plastic hexes.

Nope, I used some off the HPI Blitz ESE.
