I have been running inline axles on my +8 for the last 2 weeks and it has been really good!

Anybody having trouble getting the wheel hex adaptors to fit on the roll pins. Slots in the adaptors seem to be too narrow.

The 14x2 was fast, too...he's been running old mod brushed motors until now. The same thing happened to him though the first time he ran a lipo with the Cyclone and 14t motor though

I bought the hex adapters and axles, but I have a question. It seems like they make the car wider? Anybody measure it? I am guess the skinny adapters go in front and big ones in the rear. Just curious.

Slip the other bearing on the outer bearing position. Slide on one shim and then the axle pin. Finally slide on te thin hex and that is it.

Not sure, I'm just going to use the plastic ones until Proline/Jconcepts has their clamping aluminum ones.

This is too funny! I just found some old ones in one of my parts bags last night and tried them on the rear hubs. They fit just fine! Visually they look really close in size, if not the same, to the AE plastic hexes.

I ran it on the track today at lunch time and had no problem, either.

I'm going to compare them with my digital calipers tonight and get an exact number.
