Did you use a power tool? If so do it by hand next time and you'll get an accurate hole

you could order online:

or just froogle: 1.7mm drill bit and buy the 1 bit for around $3.00 (metric bits are not popular in my area so I had to order online)

and yes you are correct. Front 1.6 with 40wt losi and Rear 1.7 with 32.5wt losi

(of course different tracks and temperatures play a part of it but its a starting point for you)
