Axels? Jeez. You need to lay off the throttle when landing.

are you running 23mm wheels slow revo?

Michowski Wrote:are you running 23mm wheels slow revo?Yes. That is wherre they broke right where the threads end
Thurs Practice - Michowski - 11-03-2006
I would stay away from them and just run stock size or 17mm. May I ask why your running the 23mm on the revo?
Thurs Practice - Ponch - 11-03-2006
That's odd, I never broke that part of the axle with the 23mm setup. I broke the axle pins. Are the hexes shimmed away from the axle carrier properly?
Thurs Practice - Eracer76 - 11-03-2006
23mm hexes suck, at least the Proline ones I had did.
Back when I had the Losi LST, I started breaking axles every time I went to the track after installing 23mm hexes.
They would break right at the hex where the thread starts every time, and I never had any problems breaking axles before getting them.
Later I just sold the truck and bought the HB LSP....I ran the 14mm wheels the whole year and a half that I owned/raced it, with no problems at all.

I never had this happen with the stock wheels

I ordered a set of boa c for the stock rims.
Im going to try them and see what happens
Thurs Practice - Michowski - 11-03-2006
Stick with stock rims or 17mm. The 23 are just to big and honestly there is no need for them. I ran the 17mm with the rd carriers and never once broke an axle, or had bearing problems. Ditch the 23mm, im saying this from experience.
Thurs Practice - Casketman - 11-03-2006
I run Dace 23mm with Rpm carriers and I have yet to have a single problem with them. I had the HPI 17mm adapters on and I broke 2 stud axles during the classic practice and qual day. Said screw it and went back to 23's
