502x wheel hex problem
over the past few weeks i have had problems with the wheel hexes breaking on the front.
last night when i glued up my tamiya rims with yellow spikes. when i put them the car i couldnt get the wheel to insert onto the hex.
i took the pin out and hex off the car and tryed to fit the hex inside the wheel.
no way was it going to fit in. 2 corners slightly made it in and i now see why my hexes are breaking as when the wheel is pushed onto the hex its a very tight fit causing the hex to snap once the nut is tightened up as its not a loose fit.
these are tamiya rims, i have a set of losi rims and the hex just falls into it with a perfect fit.
has this been pointed out to tamiya and has anyone else had problems with the rims. if you havent maybe ive just been unlucky, who knows but this is not good.
