Back to the 17mm Hub/Hex discussion....
This pic is of my TR with the Matrix Buggy hubs. This is the rear and what it is showing is 7shims and it still has a little slop.
The fronts are just right with 3 shims.
I dont think any of the 17mm hexes will make up the kind of backlash that exists in the rear. I'm not a big fan of using this many shims. From what I had read much earlier on the CEN forum, using the buggy axles in the rear would tighten this up right. The part is MX093. Looks like about $7 clams each at A-Main. I'm fine with the amount of shims on the front. Thats a good thing as the front CV/Axle setup for the buggy is $25 each. Shims don't sound so bad at that price.
And then there is a part of me that just wants to find a couple sets of the RTR wheels (MX321) and use the 23mm hexes. Before I glue up these new Crime Fighters and Badlands I better make a descision
If I go the 23mm route I'll have 4 sets of ST-R wheels (trimmed) and 1 set of MBX5T (new) to ditch....
