GTHELE 12mm to 17mm Wheel Hex Hub Adapter Conversion for 1/10 RC Cars (Red, 4 Pieces)
This set of four aluminum wheel hex hub adapters converts 1/10 scale RC cars with factory 12mm hex hubs to accept 1/8 scale 17mm hex wheels. Each adapter is CNC machined from solid billet aluminum, anodized red, and weighs 48g for the set. Designed for 4mm axle screws with a maximum axle diameter of 5mm and M4 thread. Note: these adapters are not suitable for 2WD models that use bearings instead of 12mm hex hubs.
What the 12mm to 17mm adapter offers
The adapters allow you to mount larger 1/8 scale wheels with 17mm hex fitment onto your 1/10 scale RC car. The CNC aluminum construction keeps them lightweight yet strong. Each adapter has a total length of 24mm, and the screw cap outer diameter is 12mm (0.47 inches). The anodized red finish adds a custom look.
Compatibility notes for 1/10 RC cars
These adapters work with many 1/10 scale vehicles that come with factory 12mm hex hubs. They are designed for use with 4mm axle screws. However, they are not compatible with 2WD models that use bearings in place of 12mm hex hubs. Check your vehicle's hub type before purchasing. The adapters are not vehicle-specific but fit a wide range of popular 1/10 scale cars and trucks.

Common questions about hex hub adapters
Will these fit my 1/10 RC car?
These adapters fit many 1/10 scale vehicles that come with factory 12mm hex hubs. They are not suitable for 2WD models that use bearings instead of hex hubs. If your vehicle has 12mm hex hubs, they should work.
What size wheels can I use with these adapters?
After installing these adapters, your car will accept wheels with a 17mm hex hub, typically found on 1/8 scale RC vehicles. You can mount larger tires for off-road or on-road use, depending on your vehicle's clearance.
What thread size are the axle screws?
The adapters are designed for M4 axle threads. The included bolts are 5mm in diameter (likely the head size) and fit through the adapter's center hole.
Are these adapters durable?
Yes. They are CNC machined from solid billet aluminum, which is lightweight and strong. The anodized coating helps resist wear and corrosion.
