Default tamiya hexes

Hey guys thought i would bring this subject up with you..
as we get alot of newbie drifters on the forums asking about the best hopups etc for drifting
we all know the standard ones now as we learn the hard way hehe
One that doesnt seem to ever get mentioned though is the tamiya wheel hexes now ive been drifting for a good few months now and been through 2 sets of the standard plastic hexes,after 2 sets ive given up and replaced with the metal up grades as the plastic ones seem to crumble and melt after alot of drift abuse i guess its down to the sideways action and pressure on the wheels at speed etc

so who agrees that the metal upgrade hexes are ALSO a must in the end..
like ive said ive been through a fair few sets of the standards plastic one now and was wondering how many of you guys have had to replace yours on the tt01?
we all talk about the propshaft,bearings,shocks etc but as the wheels contact is the most important part of drifting we never mention this...seems strange lol
like to hear your views on this though,cheers guys
