HPI Trophy Truggy Flux Axles... ***?
A friend just starting out with RC picked up a HPI trophy truggy flux this past weekend. After running it for 10 minutes 2 of the wheels fell off and when I looked closer I noticed they have changed back to the little tiny rinky dinky 1/10th scale nuts for the wheels! On a 1/8th scale truck! *** are these guys thinking? The big nuts are one of the best features of a 1/8th scale RC's that caused no issues whatsoever and they decide to change it.
So I went on e-bay to order some new ones for him and I came across some of the "normal 1/8 style" axles. Can I use these parts on his trophy truggy flux? Will they fit? Heres a link on tower:
Axles: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCJFZ&P=M

Stupid Axles that came with it: http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/53387/

yea seen a few complaints on that truck on these forums(like 5 people own and 4 thought it was junk)
from what I seen not much will make the truck better
seen a few people pour a pile of cash into it to still have a 2nd rate truck that cost more than the better ones.
