The Spec R hexes are awesome. I love my tresrey hexes and have had trouble finding a second set (only have one pair). These have two set screws, one on each side so you can insert the pin from either side. The tolerancing is much better than the Exotek (mine didn't fit, apparently due to differences between V3 and V4)

Not a bad price either

What off set wheels do these then use? I'd love to run the new pre mounts that are coming out these days.

Thanks for the input

I'm really dreading starting school tomorrow...this is going to be a rough semester lol
OK Steve,

So I was able to FINALLY get out to the track as the weather decided to grace us with a superb small break in the weather and what a BLAST it was to be back on the stand.

Anyhow, My report on the front Shock protectors is as follows… They did really well until I took a spill. The second it landed on it's lid they sheered right off!! LOL The track was all grip, everywhere, all day long (first time in history!!!) but it was a bit soft for impacts so I expected the guards to hold up at least a little bit. Seems the material is just not ideal for the application. At least in this variety. Perhaps those round puck style ones are a better way to go. The rears are protected by the wing and I only went over 3 times yesterday and not very hard so they never contacted anything.

Hope you find this info useful.

Thanks for the input! I was very afraid the larger ones covering the tower would crack right off. The small round ones though still seem to be holding up for me somehow, not sure if its luck or if there a tight enough fit to distribute the impact to the caps.

Sad news I the 4wd buggy class in my area never fully caught on and everyone is selling there buggies. So, mine will be up for grabs soon...
Also sad news, my school work has been crazy this semester and I'm unable to race but once a month and my printer needs some work but no time to do anything

Been there done that. I'm just turning in after a long day at werk, then a meeting with a buddy about shooting a Promo Vid for Hobbywing at the World's next week, then ran home to eat and help my son with his homework and then back on my computer to bang out a sticker sheet layout for a friend.

Now it's time to watch a few minutes of TV and catch up on E-mails and as always… My F1!!!


And this damn site is loading PAINFULLY SLOW on all handheld devices! Aaaaaah WTF??!?!? LOL


On another note, I am in need of a machinist who can cut a SMALL prototype part for me to remedy an inherent flaw in one of my buggies that failed the very first day out as I suspected!!!
Would love to have it done and delivered by this Friday so my buddy can run it at the Supercup, but it's so simple it's ridiculous.


Anyone who's up to the task, feel free to E-mail me at [email protected]

It is a no go on putting in a catch screw or set screw to hold the pin in. At this time I think it is fine the way with it works as no lost pins yet. We are going to look at possibly using a cotter pin instead of a solid pin. Not sure on that yet but looking into it.

As for the offset , they will work with any 12mm hex style rim. These are made to the exact replica of the kit 14 hex, just as a 12 hex instead. Hope that helps answer any questions.
