17mm to 12mm hex

[_Logan_]

I bought some 2.2 crawler innovations wheels that fit the vanquish slw hubs. These are 6 bolt wheels, (maybe someone knows the bolt pattern of them which might be able to help). I am trying to run this wheel on a traxxas udr which is a 17mm hex. I am looking for either a 17mm-12mm conversion to which I can mount the slw hub to, or if they make a 17mm hex to the 6bolt pattern.

Thank you!

I don’t have a UDR but it looks like you can take off the disc brake hex and add a standard wheel hex. Make sure you check your backspacing on your wheels so you have clearance.

12mm hex and a lot of power will likely end up with stripped wheels.

I have a udr, but I dont think you're going to find a 12mm hub with the correct offset to clear the HUGE front knuckle, without sticking out a MILE?! There's some 2.6 wheels on alibobo with 17mm and 12mm "hubs", both in aluminum, well some type of alloy. However, they're not for sale alone (the 17mm hubs). So you might have to bite the bullet and try those out.

However, if youre handy with basic tools, or a Machinist. There's these: I just found this on AliExpress:
$4.43 | AXSPEED 4PCS 12mm Wheel Hex Coupling Coupler Brass Sleeve Adapter Tire Connector 3/4/5/6/7/8/mm for RC Boat Car Spare Parts

12mm "brass" adapters that come in/with different sizes bore hole diameters, that could be used as a wheel hex by itself if modified.

Pro-Line has wheel adapters which are 6 bolt. They come in both 17mm and 12mm.

However, Pro-Line's bolt pattern may not be the same as Crawler Innovation's. Nor would these necessarily solve the offset problem Gula raised.
