Yes; we still have many in stock and they are for sale on the website.
Just picked a set of black hex's for the front and rear of my b5. For some reason the rear hex's are to small to go over the axles. Seems like they would fit the old b4 axles. Has there been any issues with these.. Ordered a new set from my local hobby shop to see if it was just that pack..
Unfortunately Team Associated updated the rear axles (from 4.75mm to 5mm) for the "B5M Lite", but the standard B5 and B5M still have the smaller standard axles. So the hexes you purchased are for the standard 4.75mm axles that come with the B5 or B5M. The HD and standard axles are interchangeable between all the "B" series buggies, but you have to have the corresponding hexes.
