Trying to run 17mm buggy wheels on my Hpi MT2, I recently purchased the Hot Racing 12 to 17mm adapters but it will not work, axles arent long enough to clear the adapter to allow me to thread a nut to lock it in place.

So my question is before I waste anymore money, what are most people using to run 17mm buggy wheels on the Hpi MT2, I have seen the New Era adapter but dont know if the buggy wheels will clear the body during turning (steering).

I have searched this forum for the answer but it seems it is asked alot but havent seen an answer yet.

Thanks
