I thought I'd save a few bucks so I ordered the Hot Racing 1.5mm 22 buggy hubs for the front end of my 22SCT. Got them at half the price of the TLR hubs. Problem is, once installed they are actually narrower than the stock 22SCT plastic hubs by about 1mm, and they need shims behind them to take up slop between the hubs and the wheel bearings. So to get a slightly wider front end I still need to order the TLR hubs, or shim the heck out of these inferior copy-cat hubs. First time I have been disappointed in a Hot Racing product.
