Overview
Upgrade your wheel-to-axle interface with the Hot Racing Blue Aluminum 12mm Clamping Wheel Hex Set. This four-piece set replaces the factory plastic hex hubs on your Traxxas 2WD Slash, Rustler, or Stampede with rock-solid, slop-free CNC aluminum clamping hexes — exactly what's needed when you're running upgraded power, larger tires, or simply demand consistent steering feel.
Each hex uses a clamping design that grips the axle securely and eliminates the wobble, stripping, and inconsistent fit that plague stock plastic hexes. Front hexes are 8mm wide and rear hexes are 6mm wide, matching the factory geometry for a clean direct-bolt-on swap.
Key Features
- CNC-machined aluminum, blue anodized finish
- Clamp-style hex eliminates axle slop
- Standard 12mm hex profile (industry standard)
- Front and rear-specific widths included
- Direct replacement for stock plastic Traxxas hexes
Performance Benefits
- Eliminates wheel wobble and improves tracking

- Allows access to a wide variety of 12mm hex aftermarket wheels
Usage Notes
Apply removable thread-locker on the clamp screws during installation. Not compatible with the Slash 4x4 platform. Re-check torque on clamp screws after the first run, as new clamps will settle slightly during break-in.
