Hi everybody,
I got a Dex 410 and some other cars. I drive for fun, not competition, and I wanted to be able to use some other wheels (rims) on my Durango, just to see how fast it can go, and how it handles with bigger wheels. So I made from a piece of electrical cable tubing 12mm hex wheels adapter.
Thats how I made it:

With a heat gun, I heated the piece, and I pushed into the rim hex and formed the adapter.

Those plastic adapter are very resistent and they last for the kind of torque the car has.
I already tried and drived a few kind of wheels - rims, I even drived the car with some Traxxas victory, and I hit 84 kmh with 84 spur, 22 pinion and 5700Kv motor. but thats not interesting, I just wanted to try for fun, on Durango, the other wheels and tires that I got. (more offset, wider rims, bigger tires and so on).
I just wanted to share, thank you.
F.M.
P.s. I hope that Durango owners doesnt gonna think about this as "blasphemie".:eh?:...:D
