Status: offline 		haha 14mm hex on a Baja! Stock Nitro's using 14mm are known for rounding out the wheels, hate to think how long (or short) wheels will last on a vehicle weighing 2-3 times as much with an engine that pumps out 4 times the power...

Status: online 		so your saying that the FG square adapters made to go on the baja will last a long time , if you reakon the FG adapters made to go on the baja5b with the littlenut to secure on the rim will stay on , especially that mine is pumping out more than 8 HP i will buy those billet FG $400 rims , do you think that it will round out the hole in the rim ?

the problem i used to have when running nitros was that the 14mm hex only rounded when the lock nut came loose and the hex kept spinning in the rim , can the same thing happen on FG rims ? cos if it does ill never buy FG rims for my baja .

Status: offline 		Heh, i've seen plenty of 14mm hex's get rounded out when the nut was done up tight, the plastic can sofen and flex thats why HPI put a steel ring around their 24mm hex.

The FG square hubs are a little different, the angle for each corner is more acute (90deg vs 60deg) meaning its harder to strip out, the down side is with a square your limited to a smaller hub, its an apples to oranges comparison but if you go to a small 14mm hex you'll definatly destroy your wheels, especially if your engine is somehow making 8HP.
