Wow, good find! Looks like HPI finally listened and made a conversion.


See no reason these shouldn't work on teh Flux - shares a ton of parts with the nitro trucks.

Heres some info about the conversion and the Flux. It seems the kit is not compatible with the flux without some modding, hope this info helps.

The cups are not big enough for the flux dogbones.

Here you go. Simple, easy, and cheap. I have been using it for awhile now and have had no issues. I am making a second set soon.

hey divey, ive seen you video like a couple of days ago...but im glad you messaged me here..cuz my question was...do i have to drill a hole threw the axle shaft? in order to make the pin go threw? or do i all just have to buy the adapters and work with no drilling?

You have to drill the axles out to fit the pin through and thats it.

I'm waiting for my parts to arrive so I can do the Divey mod =)

Got a spare HPI conversion set if anyone wants it :P Had to find out the hard way bout the cup joint being too small

Also I wanted to add, if you are wanting to use the standard offset axles that come stock the Associated standard hexes might work. The one's I use in the video are the extended one's. I am about to get some this week so I will report back to see if they fit. Kinda cool to have extended and stock using the Associated hexes.

Divey, as an expert on the matter, I wonder if I can ask your opinion.

You mentioned that your original mod had the associated hub sitting a tiny bit too close to the axle bearing, and rubbing it. I thought to make it so that the end of the associated 17mm thread is trim with the end of the extended axle (on the outside side.... i hope this makes sense). Leaving maybe a few mil of space between the axle bearing and where the new hub will be starting.

I suppose I could look for a spacer to fill that gap in, but would probably just leave it... is this going to transfer loads of stress to that one narrower space, or won't make much difference??

Edit: If you want I can try to draw an MSPAINT to show you what I mean ^_^

Ya, I had to file a butt fuzz from the end of the hubs. If you can get a shim and shim it then drill it out. The leave the shim out when you install them. That will give you your gap needed. Going flush with the end would be too much of a gap.

LightWire

ah ok cool, thanks mate. Maybe will just file down the end ... or ignore it. OR!.... Add some spikes to it like a chariot! Take out the enemy drivers?

Divey

File was easy. It has a raised area like all hubs and it took like 2 minutes for all of them. Also if you can drill them straighter than I did it might work out. Either way it was a small amount. Lessoned learned and on my next set I will make it better

Awesome pic!!

Divey, can I buy a set of the modded axles and hex as a kit from you?

You can use the stock flux axles. I did it with my stock flux axles and they give it about a half inch wider track. I did have to put a threaded aluminum spacer in the rc8t hex to prevent the hex from wobbling but that was it. The flux axles are hardened so take your time drilling.
