Sc10 rear wheels pins problem

[pb1]

Has any body had problems with the rear pins striping the wheel. I no the pins are sitting right in the slots I am only running a 10.5 motor the car has just ran up an down the road to test the car????? If so what other wheels to buy

Iv'e heard of this happening and iv'e been told to fill in the moulding on the inside of the wheel (not the slot you use for the pin)with putty or anythihg that sets hard and it stops the plastic spreading under load.And you might be running the slipper clutch to hard so back it off a bit.I myself have invested in traxxas wheels and a 12mm hex conversion from e-bay USA,you can also get 17mm hex conversion and run rally x wheels and tyres but i think that would be a no no in any race series.Hope this helps.

Hi
the original kits had an issue with not having enough strength around the pin slots in the wheels ( hence filling the gaps with araldite etc ) but this was only on the very early kits ! the recent ones have reinforced wheels and no longer cause an issue! how old is your kit ? and where was it purchased.

Or you could use longer pins....
