17mm adapters for the Senton?

[4TFour RC]

Hey everyone, just had a few questions concerning moving from the 14mm wheel hubs to 17, or even 12mm. Has anyone had success with a specific brand or kit they prefer? if memory serves, traxxas ran 14mm on some of their models also so im guessing it isnt uncommon to convert. I'll post a pic of a product i had my eye on. Any info regarding good wheel/tire combos for packed dirt tracks is also welcome.
Thanks!

Yep that HR one is the most commonly used. Just have to use thread lock on the black barrel nuts.

Adapters like you mentioned are good if you want to add some offset, the one in the picture adds 10mm, but note that they usually add some play in the wheel, due to the fact that they ride on the current axle.

If you don't want to add any offset, i'd go for the Arrma parts that are used in the 3s Typhon, the axles and hex/nuts

Thanks for the speedy reply and great info, all!

Traxxas part number 5353x works as well and adds 0 offset there is only a small amount of play that can be removed by threading nitro fuel line in side the hex and over the axle.?

If you want 12mm just get the Duratrax adapters.

I wonder if teflon tape or something can be used instead. Or maybe even regular tape. I like the idea of no offset, but not the idea of adding play.

A little nitro fuel tube threaded over axle makes it have zero play

Thanks. I'm just thinking of other options since I don't have nitro fuel tube.

Same stuff if we take our weedeater fuel line. Not sure if it'll work out but options lol ?

If you find an empty pump bottle of soap cut the straw that’s inside, I found one now that’s a perfect fit.
