Not sure what the previous reviewer is complaining about? I have run these hubs for well over a year and havent damaged them at all, except for when I tried to take them off without having the little tool fully seated in the hub. They look awesome and other than damage inflicted by me, they look as good as the day I bought them.
The yellow "handles" fell off on first use. Recommend adding some shoe goo before taking it out so you dont lose the scale details you paid for.
These hubs look amazing and give that scale look that I wanted. I bought another set for my other crawler. Make sure to buy the tool to tighten the hubs as these function in place of the hex nuts. I have not had any trouble with the tool being weak just pay close attention while using it and don’t try to over-tighten. I did not have any trouble with the hubs coming loose without loctite but it wouldn’t hurt to put a dab on them when installing.
Good looking product and function is same. Will need a small bit of blue lock tite to keep them on the axle. Short of that, great scale looking details.
I purchased these from A Main about a month ago. They look awesome in detail but be warned that they do not have a locking nylon nut infused into the hub, its just threaded to mate with axle and this just is not designed properly to secure the hub to axle, it will come loose with use! You would have to use lock tight to secure it. The problem I've experienced with this is that the special hex adapter needed to install and remove this hub is designed with very tiny aluminum pins which mate with the hub. It very easy to strip or damage the aluminum tool pins and small holes molded into the hubs with using the blue removable lock tight compound, my experience. In short these look very cool but I do not feel they are very practical for use vs. sitting on a shelf on my SCX10 II. I much prefer the SSD hubs I purchased afterwards or even better would be LockedUp RC Ulta Hubs that I would like to try next!
Reviewers generally praise the scale appearance of these manual locking hubs, and most who used them over time report they held up well. Several note that the hubs do not have a locking nut and can loosen on the axle, so thread locker such as blue Loctite is recommended. The installation tool is a recurring concern: its small aluminum pins can strip or damage the tool and the hub's molded holes if over-tightened or used without care. One reviewer reported the yellow handles detached on first use, and another recommended a bonding adhesive before removal to protect the detail. Reviewers agree on the look and the need for thread locker, while experiences with durability vary.
