I drew up and 3d printed some and they worked well in a mild brushless car , not sure I'd be confident enough in them to sell them though

You could try Kevin Fenrich on Facebook. He's already machined some alloy Schumacher to Yokomo wheel adaptors. Really good quality work too.
Cheers Tim

Thankyou Timmy , Richard has been in touch and his 12mm alloy hex adapters are in the post

Really busy on the vintage Schumacher parts and 1/5th scale buggies

Ooh, do the change the track too much? I made some with polymorph (!) and some old thin hexes, but the width with new Schumacher dish wheels makes it too wide. Do the alloy ones allow the use of new Schumacher wheels?

It does widen the car, I was running kyosho wheels but it suits me to use up old wheels and tyres for the moment. It does not affect the way the car drives very much.
