Default hex conversion?

I now have both a bmax4 and 2mr,
Never been a fan of the pin drive and want to convert then into hex drive,

Do people convert to 10mm or 14mm hexs and can what sizes fit what??

I dug out my old schu cat 2000 wheels which run a 14mm hex and would fit with a very thing hex adapter but dont think there will be enough threads for the nust,
(Shame as there brand new wheels and tyres)

I have read durango ones fit and ones for losi and accosiated,
And new bmax is hex drive but wanted more info,

Did a little search but not much came up,
Many thanks in advance

I've used plastic Durango hexes on the back of mine. Needs spacing out 2mm where I used the Tresrey alloy wing washers to spread the load, perfect

Yeap I did the conversion simply because I already had the Durango wheels!

I still have 3 sets of cat2000 wheels and no yokomo ones so thought
Would make sence to convert them to hex,
I was wondering do I just take the hexs off the cat suspension and cut a slot int them to fit over the yokomo pins?
I already have the bits and just recycling.

So durango and schumacher cat2000 are 14mm hexs,
Ideal at lease I can get wheels now!
Many thanks to you both
