Most other makes have a deeper hex, if you fit AE hexes you can run other wheels AE, rulux, rango.

2. How tight should I adjust the slipper...I'm running on smooth surfaces mainly. If I run on grass what adjustment should I be making.

If its smooth indoor surfaces you need to run it slightly looser than you would on grass, slipping about a foot when gunned. I also drilled the spur and fitted twice as many slipper puks.

3. I am not sure, but I think the front wheels move independently of each other and the rear wheels. When I press the throttle, the front wheels take some time to roll. Am I right in saying there is a front one-way installed? I am not sure!

Yep, sounds like a one ways fitted. Front wheels should roll forward independantly

Thanks for your time

Hope this helps.
