Hi Kyosho kudos, can I request for the measurement in mm?
-inner hole of ZX5 12mm hex
-thickness of hex for front and rear of ZX5
-hex specification; thickness, inner hole and is it 12mm for RB5 fronts?
Thanks in advance!!!

Not sure what your trying to do but if you let me know I might be able to help you with a solution!!!

RB5 uses the same 12mm hex as the ZX5 all round.

Hex thickness is 3.97mm from the front face to the boss on the back which butts to the bearing. The actual hex is approx 3.4mm thick. Centre hole is a 5mm clearence hole.

I hope that helps.

Hi RogerM82275, The 3.97mm thick hex is it for the RB5? I reckon the thick for ZX5 should be thicker? Maybe 5.5-6mm? I'm actually trying to use these hex on my Nikko Brat to adapt to Tamiya wheels. I've already home made some hex but would like to have the proper set. Thanks David

thanks alot! Went to Kyosho distributor (Singapore) and was told that no stock yet for the RB5....have to wait for another month or so. Any idea which online store is selling the hex hubs?
