GoHobby Aluminum 17mm Hex Wheel Hub Adapters for 1/10 RC Trucks (Set of 4) - Black

This set of four 17mm hex wheel hub adapters lets you upgrade your 1/10 scale RC truck to run splined wheels. Made from 6061-T6 aluminum with a black anodized finish, these hubs are built for durability and precise alignment. They're designed for vehicles like the Traxxas Summit and Losi Baja Rey, and they work with Traxxas 17mm splined wheels.

Why Choose Splined Over Hex?

A standard hex hub uses a hex-shaped drive. This splined design uses multiple interlocking grooves that spread torque more evenly across the hub. That means less stress on any single point and better power transfer under heavy loads. Each hub in this set is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, a heat-treated alloy known for its strength-to-weight ratio. The anodized coating adds corrosion resistance and gives it a clean black look.

Will These Fit My RC Truck?

These hubs are sized for 1/10 scale vehicles with 17mm splined wheels. They are specifically listed as compatible with the Traxxas Summit and Losi Baja Rey. If your truck uses a 12mm hex or a different spline pattern, these will not fit. The set includes four hubs and four wheel nuts, so you can install them on all four corners. Each hub weighs about 1.76 ounces total for the set, adding minimal unsprung weight.

What Do Other Buyers Say?

With a 4.0 out of 5 star rating from 62 reviews, most users find these adapters a solid upgrade. They mention improved wheel fitment and secure locking. Some note that the black anodizing holds up well to bashing and trail riding.

Quick Installation Tips

• Remove your existing wheel nuts and hubs.
• Slide the new splined hub onto the axle — it should seat flush.
• Thread the included wheel nut onto the axle and tighten to the manufacturer's torque spec.
• Check that the wheel spins freely and doesn't wobble before running.

No special tools are required beyond a standard wrench that fits the wheel nut.
