I noticed that at lock the rims were rubbing on them. I have now changed them to Kyosho hocky stick ends and have so much clearance now.

Also,I have changed back from the +2 hexes to the standard hexes. I put my GRP wheels back on and now they are really stiff to turn, its seems that the inside of hexes is rubbing on the rear hub plastic and the front spindle, causing loads of drag. With the wheels off, the drivetrain spins so freely. Thing is, it only seems to be on 2 of the wheels, while the others are a lot freer. Any ideas on how to sort this out? The standard Losi wheels seem to have a slighly shallower hex than the GRP wheels.
Solution would be to put the 2mm hexes back on I found that on all but the AKA wheels, the webbing rubs the very back tip of the front arm where the hinge pin/screw is. I run the 2mm hubs and no rubbing for me! I also noticed a tick more steering with the 2mm hubs also.
