I've bought two different size 12 for diff. tires. Neither one of them will fit my axels.
Don't fit stock slash axels. Hate that the hex drives pop off and get stuck by in the rim.
Really good quality but does not fit on the newer Traxxas Slash 4x4 BL-2S.
Awesome quality nice fit definitely upgrade over plastic.
I'm unsure about how customers are having issues with this part, namely the fitment. I have these installed on two Slash 4x4s and let me tell you, without question, they're light-years better than the plastic stock hubs. I race inthe the stock class and practice at the track regularly and have yet to have issues with the hubs. My opinion is that those who are having problems with the fitting are doing things wrong. They hold up well, preserve bearings, lock down tightly, and all while giving your Slash an edgy look. Read the manual and do things better. I love this upgrade!
Reviewers are divided on this blue aluminum 12mm locking hex kit for the Traxxas Slash 4x4. Two reviewers report fitment problems, with one saying it does not fit stock Slash axles and another saying it does not fit the newer BL-2S model; a 2/5 reviewer reports that two different size 12 diff tires would not fit their axles. One reviewer reports hex drives popping out and becoming stuck in the rim. Three reviewers are positive, praising the build quality, a fit they found good, and an improvement over plastic stock hubs, with one reporting durability and bearing preservation over regular track use. One positive reviewer attributes others' fitment issues to installation error, a claim the other reviews do not support.
