Kraton [Fix] Stripped Wheel Hex

[wolfreon]

Sometimes, bad day happens and we end up stripping hexes.

Just wanted to share my experience with this repair that I learned from Project Farm (youtube channel). I tried one of the most trusted brands out there to fill in the gaps needed to create a new hex shape. My recommendation is to use J-B Weld 8265S Original Cold-Weld Steel Reinforced Epoxy to fill the plastics that are missing. Works like a charm. I've ran this 7x already and it's still have the hex shape.

There is another thread here somewhere. You can use 2mm or 2.5mm grub screws and screw them into those little notches to force the plastic onto the hex.
I'll look but hard to find.
Real fix would be for Arrma to actually design proper hex's that would fully seat in the tires and not just at 2/3.

Yes, JBWeld to repair works but to prevent it the grub screw mod is golden.
