Default What are the differet hex hub sizes??

I've seen some new rustlers with old style 2.2 wheels, but for some reason my wheels wont stay on for more than a run. The hex hubs are too thick and dont allow for the wheel to go all the way in enough for the nut rubber seal to catch the threads. Is there different hubs/thinner that I have to use on XL-5 rustlers? What are the thinnest availabe? 5mm? Thanks.

The old style (not sure about the new) has different width hexes for the front and rear, I think you have yours mixed up. The skinny ones go with the front rims and the fat ones go with the rear rims. Check to make sure you don't have your rims mixed up too, the rear ones have the hex near the middle and the front ones have it near the side.
