    Wheel does not fit on hubs?

    Hi,

    I bought a set of #5174 Tires&Wheels ("fits Revo/Maxx") for my Revo 3.3 #5309.
    The hole in the tire is too small for the stock 5353X hub.

    How do I make them fit?

    Best,
    Daniel

    That's because the hex size that you bought are 14mm and the newest Revo comes with 17mm. So either return them, sell them or get the 14mm hex.

    You bought the wrong wheels dude. You bought 14mm hex wheels for a 17mm hex. The old revos were 14mm but changed to 17mm a few years ago. It was a great upgrade.

    If you still want to use these wheels get some 14mm hexes and wheel nuts.

    Bought in Miami. The guy in the hobby shop didn't know much about Revo and this was the only wheel available. I can't return them, I'm already back in europe...
    I'll buy some 14mm hexes and wheel nuts. Still much cheaper than buying wheels here...

    Thanks for your help!

    Just make sure the hexes come with the axle pins some don't.
