Keep stripping wheel hex's...

[scalercracer]

Ok what do I need to do so I don't keep stripping the brass wheel hex's? :-(

You must be making serious power with that Clod if you're stripping the brass hexes. Are you tightening the nuts too tight maybe?

 

[scalercracer]

I don't think I am tightening them too much. I am running 4S lipo to a pair of Kyosho stock twin force motors, stock gearing.
I went through 3 of them today just running around the yard.

Those hexes could have been old and worn. You could always go for the TTR CVDs and Straight axles.

Yeah I may have to. I need to get a game plan together to make this truck stronger. Cases and axles tubes are cracking on me too.

I know Integy makes aluminum pieces, but I cant vouch for their strength. Im sure some other members can chime in on those aluminum tubes and cases. Are you running metal gears, or the stock plastic ones? I would have thought for sure that those gears would disintigrate before the brass hex would.

 

[scalercracer]

axles are all stock at this point.

whats stripping the outer hex or the inner splines?

I'd believe the splines before the hex unless you're running a metal hex adapter that's loosely machined
