Overview
Open up the world of 1/8-style 17mm hex wheels on your Traxxas Slash 4x4, Stampede 4x4, Rally VXL, or Telluride 4x4 with the Hot Racing Lightweight Splined 17mm Hex Hubs. These CNC-machined aluminum hex adapters convert the stock 12mm hex to a 17mm hex with a +6mm per-side wider track — adding both stability and tire-fitment options in one upgrade.
The integrated o-ring on the blue-anodized 17mm wheel nut prevents the nut from backing off under load, while the black-anodized hex adapter delivers a slop-free wheel mounting interface that handles brushless power without complaint.
