nothing worse than waiting for the mail man to deliver your bits you are waiting for and when he does turn up all you get is another bill :cry:

me too! looking at them again i cant see how they would fit with hex adaptors. i think they are meant for 4 wd cars with hex wheels on standard axles. but he says a 4mm hole and an 11mm pin. im confused now :S .
i think i will forget these unless anyone has any better info on how they fit?

I think that the Hopper qualifies when it comes to those specs...
Still I have a bit of doubt if it will fit straight on. But more in regard to the length of the axle.

Edit - Sounds like they would replace the normal hexes so I think that won't work on the rear with the Frog adapters. :huh:
On the front you'd have to shorten the brass hexes also...

I had a set of those, you remove the hex adapter, and push that on in it's place. It basically is a hex adapter with a disc on it. They looked killer on my drift car, and on my crawler...

Sorry dude, got rid of my drift machine years ago. They are a standard width, I think 6mm or 8mm.
