Senton 17 to 12mm wheel adapters....

I saw these mentioned on another forum but no discussion about it after they were posted.

Any idea of they would definitely work? Sure would open up wheel options if they clear the pivot ball.

It looks like the hex will be further out than on the original hub,but remember that most 1/8th wheels have no offset at all.

Looking at the manual,it looks like it'll increase your wheelbase width by around 5-6mm/side and as you're already running what are basically 1/8th wheels,this should give you clearance for virtually any make of 1/8th wheel.

Thanks, I think I will buy a set and do some test fits with my friend's slash wheels.

These will not work on a Senton,as there isn't a threaded section to the end of the axle as there is on a Clodbuster.There is no way to secure the wheel. If you were going from a 12mm hex up to a 14 or 17mm hex,as on a Fury then they would work, because they have a threaded axle.

I see what you mean. I just got the truck and hadn't even removed a wheel. As soon as I did, I could see where it wouldn't have worked anyway.

Thanks!

Any suggestion on what work on a Mojave, you now, that really incredible RC they based the Fury on?...
I would love to ride with 17hex-1/8 tires on it...
