17mm conversion

[Blazer X]

http://www.hpieurope.com/piw.php?lang=en&partNo=86387 Ok so I gotta flip to 17mm for my new wheels but I run MIP CVD's and they have the reverse threads on them. My question is will these hubs work without doing the axle conversion too. I'm thinking the wheel will hold the cross pin in place but I'm not sure....need some fellas

your fine bud, they bolt on.

Have you personally seen them because now that I look closer it looks like the hub and the driveshaft are very tight together. I'm afraid the hub is gonna wobble terribly on my driveshaft.

Blazer X,

I use ofna CVD for the CRT Truggy with the those hex hubs. The work great and can handle the abuse. Taking pretty much any truggy CVD would work for you. One good thing is that I haven't twisted a drive shaft yet using the Ofna CVDS. Actually you could use any buggy hex hubs since their all the same design. The only difference between the HPI one and standard buggy hex hobs is the dia of the cross pin. HPI's is just a little bigger than a buggys.

I got it figured out now. I can't run the 17mm screw on hub with my original cvds from MIP. I can replace the cvds with standard dogbones and new axle shafts and run the flange screw for the wheels but if I add all that up it comes close to 60$ when I can buy the cvd with the stub shaft upgrade and cvds for 65$. Looks like I've got some stuff to sell now.
