Hi guys i have these wheel hubs, the steel ones came with the wheels that i bought (HPI 3257 Blast Wheel) the blue one is what i already have with stock wheels. My question is, since the hub is not the same design but the same shape can i use the blue one in there or its going to eat the plastic all around of the wheel faster? Sorry about my English.

I have the same wheels and also use the stock blue 17mm hubs. They work fine but after a while you will start to see more wheel wobble. Common issue with those traxxas hubs.

Possibly but I wouldn't recommend that. I've heard there are better hubs that you can purchard to eliminate the wobble or slop. I believe savage hexes work really well and get rid of most of the wobble.

Its about 2 hours from lisbon. Its called cabanas de virato (May be spelling that wrong)
I'm not sure those will work with the e-revo.

They will work fine. The wobble isn't from the wheel on the hub. The wobble comes from the hub on the stub shaft. Keep the wheel nuts tight and you wont see a problem.
