You aren't kidding... You know I'll be asking...you said I could Prolly make Saturday building day instead of racing. We are racing outside in April...so I may not need those HPI 6mm hubs yet. Need a good setup for asphalt withTake Off 27s for stock. Thanks Dave

Interesting rear hubs, not sure if I like the way they look or not.

Hey Steve, is the price on the Speedtech website for the alloy shaft holders for a pair or just one? Thinking it's the pair but it's nice to be sure. Can't afford them yet either way though

I see someone boughtt he pink kit too if I get a second R2 I think it'll have to be pink

Also wondering when you'll get the clamp style wheel hex's in, I don't like loosing drive pins when I remove the wheels

And one that may challenge Dave, why do the front hex's have a groove in them? are the hex's different thicknesses and the groove just to tell which ones they are?

....They are the ones for the front I don't know why Alex did this with the R2...because I had 4 with the grooves in them with my R1 kits.??

Herminator,

I believe the front and the rear hex hubs are different, not in thickness (maybe Dave is right, I didn't measure), but I think it also differs in how deep the axle hole is drilled in the hex. The front one I believe are drilled a little deeper than the rear. The groove is to signify which are the fronts and which are the rears. I'm definitely getting the clamp style in stock on the next shipment.

Yes steve is right they are a slight bit deeper in the front but same width overall ...

also good news about the next shipment with the hex hubs....something else to add to the order
