Yes. After I drilled out the wheels the axle did not reach the outside of the wheel. Even with a narrower drive square the axle still did not stick out the wheel.Thanks for the reply. So is the reason you extended the axles due to clearance issues or were they just too short ?.Sucks that nobody makes any fg adapters, I saw baja adapters, but fg wheels look nicer.
I would have to make new axles instead of adapters. The market for them will be you and 2 other guys probably.Vision said:Thanks for the reply.

I've tried some FG wheels and instead of extending the axles I just grind out the face of the wheel where the nut goes to expose more thread. A couple of the other guys here have done the same. I don't think I'd want to go back to the extended axles. I hated breaking those threads off and having to weld them back on and then grind the beads down.

I haven't ordered my xb-e yet so I don't if shaving that part will work ?.

DemonRC, wow I didn't know. I wish I bought a pre-release. Are there any other redcat cars that use the longer axles ?. Maybe I can get them that way.
How much grinding on the front of the wheel do you think I would have to do ?. A few mm ? or more ?.

I would need 25 people to make an adapter. I haven;t heard too many peopl easking, so I doubt we could get 25 to sign up.Vision said:Hard to visualize without a picture =(.. Hope it's as easy as you say How many people would you need before you could manufacturer a adapter ?
When I put my FG Baja 4x4 stock wheels on the end of the thread was flush with the outer face of the wheel nut. On two other wheels the thread was only about 1/2 way into the nut. I had to grind off maybe 2mm of the wheel face around the nut area so that the nut can go all the way onto the thread.Vision said:How much grinding on the front of the wheel do you think I would have to do ?.
