ST Racing Concepts 17mm Hex Hub Conversion Kit for Traxxas Slash/Stampede/Bandit (Gun Metal)
About this part
This new 17mm hex conversion kit allows Slash, Stampede, Rustler and Bandit owners to use high-traction 1/8th scale buggy tires for increased performance and a larger selection of tires. Each 17mm hex adapter has been machined out of high-quality aluminum, and using a unique set-screw behind drive pin design, you’ll never have to worry about loosing a drive pin.
Note: For owners with MIP CVD's installed, you'll need to purchase this set of drive pins from Team Associated.

Worst part ever, the nuts are not hardened steel and the ends break off when you install them. You are stuck cutting off the axle and knuckle to get them off. I ended up having to replace my $60 steel axles and $30 aluminum knuckles to get these POC adapters off of my car. A Main offered me a replacement, why would I want another set of these?
Great hexs love to run them have not had a single problem yet
These work great. I converted a TLR 22SCT to an oval velodrome car and they run 17mm wheels to handle to high speeds through banked turns. These are well made and look great in the Gun Metal color to match the gun metal I painted my wheels so they look like the new NASCAR wheels.
Reviewers are split on this 17mm hex hub conversion kit. Two reviewers rate it 5/5, describing it as well made, trouble-free, and suitable for a TLR 22SCT oval conversion with 17mm wheels. One verified owner rates it 1/5, reporting that the nuts are not hardened steel and the ends broke off during installation, leaving the axle and knuckle that had to be cut away and replaced. The negative review also states the dealer offered a replacement, which the reviewer declined. The reviews do not state how common the installation failure is, and the sample is small with only three reviews.
