Default Stronger CVA Wheel Hex Pin

Hello,
I'm looking for some stronger hex pins after destroying so many on my b5m. I've upgreaded the hex's to the alloy ones and the stock plastic ones were striping after a few runs. Can anyone advise me on stronger ones that will last more than a few race mettings?

Has anyone else had the same problem?


Thanks Alex

sounds more like uve built something wrong. My B5M has had about 7 hours of track time and not had to replace a single pin or hex. they are not even worn

Over tightening wheel nuts can snap the pins. Especially if you've missed spacers, or the axles need shimming.
