Hehehe, I know about the axle size difference, I bought a knife edge reamer that makes short work of any "issues"

My badly explained point was that some wheels I'd used on the Yoke(Older Frewer wheels) had a much deeper hex moulding on the wheel itself than the Losi(or Yokomo)factory wheels do.

While these Frewer wheels posed no problem with my SP, the much thinner "wheel hex drive" part on the Losi meant that the wheels inner hex moulding would rub on the front and rear hubs.

Eg,
I have some aluminium Tamiya hex drives that are 5.5mm thick, the Losi ones are 3.5mm. I used to use the Tamiya items to widen the Yokomo car slightly which meant I could run some wheels that would bind on the hubs if I used the "Factory" hex drives in the kit.

I'm pretty sure the Yokomo plastic hex drives are wider than the Losi ones so anything that was going to be a problem on the Yoke is definately a problem on the Losi...
