Most people go with the 6mm for a couple reasons:

1.If you run foams, it will give you enough clearance so that 28mm foams wont drag on your front camber ball cup.(Depending on what company's foams you use, you may still have to shave a little off the ball cup)

2. It widens the car to give more stability and keeps you from having the stock axles sticking out so far from the wheel nut. Axles that stick out too far can cause breakage if they catch a board or something.

The only downside to the 6mm hexes is that for some reason, Tamiya decided to clear anodize them and leave them natural aluminum color, instead of anodizing them blue.
