Dus was the one who reccomended the hub conversion to me when I first joined. 
Bycmo run 10mm hex instead of 12mm hex. 
You need to fit 12mm hubs. 
Will find a link on ebay for you Steve.

Basically these

Doesn't look that old to be honest... 

Steve, been a while since I fitted them but just remembered that you need to file a small piece of plastic from the plug on the esc before fitting it into the reciever. 
Small file and about 5 mins work.

I'm sure you will be able to sort your car out
If you lay out your new items and replace the old ones one at a time
remove the msc and replace with the esc then plug it into the reciever then do the motors
Hope that helps

Did you manage to sort out your diff ?

You can lock gears with chemical metal too. 
Look forward to pics. 
Not sure what you mean about the spacer, will have a look later

If i remember right I just used the standard silver axle shafts
But I also used plastic hexes off an old nikko car I had in the junk box
I think Ian used the upgraded black axle shafts as the hexes he used were adjustable
You could always upload photos of your problem so we can see
Hope that helps

i think the main difference is the black ones are lighter
if your using the standard silver shafts measure width of the shaft to see what size it is
(you also may need to use the old pins as the holes in the silver shafts will be smaller if remember)
you may need these to convert the hexes
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-EP-Nitro-1-10-12mm-hex-6mm-Alloy-Locking-Lock-Wheel-Rims-Adapter-Nut-hub-BLUE-/200820021296?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item2ec1ce5830
they do 5, 6, and 7mm thickness
hope that helps

Status: offline 		hi steve
can i ask which hexes did you order the ones in ian's link or the ones in mine
as the only problem you might have is the size of the shaft and the size of the center
of the hexes
also do you have any wheels for the 12mm hexes yet

if i remember rightly the hex goes on the center of the shaft between the thread and the step on the shaft
this is the part you need the measurement for
also the you will need the pins from the rear axles
as the holes it the rear axles are thinner than the standard pins that are used by most rc cars
hope that helps

Wait until the ones in Ian's link turn up
That way you can see if they fit then if they don't order the lockable ones
You may end up using both as the shafts might be different sizes I can't remember
With out getting mine out the loft

Will look at mine later, you shouldn't need to lock them on, they run from the pins.
