Binding wheels

[Hpi_guy]

Anyone experienced problems with the front wheels binding and not spinning? On the x2

Yes
i use the Ansmann upgrade alloy hexes , problem solved
Kyosho slim hexes also work a treat.

Alright, cheers

I always struggled getting mine in the box, so currently using mi4 slim hexes, brings the width inside brca regs, and also solves the binding issue. Hope this helps.

Are they binding on the hub? Try using some shims as that is what I have with alloy hexes. Still fits in box fine.

It's binding on the hub and when tight the wheel won't spin freely I have to back it off by half a turn until it spins

Also kyosho front rims have a slightly narrower offset and enable fitment into the box with ease (oooo errrrr)

Pretty sure i ran like this at nationals. With the green alloy hexes and kyosho front rims

BTW - I heard HPI Blitz C blocks, hubs and axles are a straight fit and 5mm (per side) narrower - will test when I get a chance,
