I just came across this on Ebay. Anyone tried them yet.

Seems kinda kludgy - not sure how much torque you could put on that adapter disc before the nut pulls through- I'd just get new m2c hex adapters and be done with it.

Never tried them.
But I would stay away from plastic like @Engineer stated above.
M2C baby.... as @Rich Duperbash always says.

BTW I have those same cheap AMZ wheels mounted to those plastic hex adapters shown on your EBay link. They self destructed within one pack running 6s Kraton and Notorious on a smooth street at about 40MPH ( Geared for dirt). One by one they let go and cracked on the inner beads.

I even made sure the tires were wrapped in Gorilla Tape, glued very well using IC-2000 CA and even balanced.

Watch out for the very cheap stuff you find on Ebay Alliexpress. and elsewhere. don't waste your money. Buy cheap buy twice. Been there. Don't be like me.

I bought them to for my rustler 12mm to 14mm. They work fine. It was a cheap option for the one set of 14mm rims I wanted to use

Mine Hill, Morris County. I haven't really put those spacers through much punishment. 2wd 3s on the road drifting, not bashing.
