24mm hex hubs to fit the new extended V2 axles

[Mvtepixels]

Here's the deal, i want to put 24mm hex hubs on my Flux XL, i know there are some options for the old savage axles, but i'm using the newest extended axles that come with the V2 models. Did some research on AliExpress and a few RC shops, but can't find anything... Everything i could find is for 12mm axles and uses bigger pins, but the savage axles are 8mm with 2.5mm pins. Eventually i can buy normal 24 hex hubs, use the 12mm spacers that come with the extended savage hubs to fill the gap, and drill 2.5 mm holes on both spacer and hubs to insert the pins... but something plug and play would be better, any suggestions?

I bought some extended axles off AliExpress for my XL that had 3mm pin holes in them, Don't know about 24mm Hexs that fit but would love to find out as would like to fit a set of Baja rims to one of my Savages.
This is the Web Addy for the extended Savage axles for 3mm pins, the Rofun Rovan Torland Flux uses these as standard. The Rovan Torland Flux is a direct clone of the HPI Savage XL Flux

@Mvtepixels, did find these 3D printed 17 to 24mm adaptors, have used the 14 to 17mm ones before and must say they worked well. The material they are made from is very hard wearing and when I wanted to get the 14mm hexs back out to use on another project I had to cut the adapters off as couldn't get them out of the adaptors as a very tight fit.

I tried a set of the 14 to 17mm ones like I said, and was doubtful at 1st but they worked well. Couldn't get the original hexs back out of them without cutting them off, they are that tight a fit. Not sure how they would stand up on a flux but worth a try for the cost.

@Mvtepixels, Here's a couple I have still got, so you can see what they look like in the flesh, these are 14 to 17mm ones but the 17 to 24 will be the same.

Well when you find some let me know, like everywhere else they are out of stock. Almost seems like these sort of adapter are becoming absolute these days. Every site I find on the web that has a link for 17 to 24mm hexs are out of stock or discontinued.

Like I said, I have the new axles, those won't fit on them.
