Hey buddy, I just found your channel because I ordered some extenders for my hyper go H16BM. Really good video full of lots of good information. Looking forward to hanging around and seeing what else you post again great video buddy helped me out a lot.
Very well done! The thing to note is you have to drill out the holes in the wheels and then there's no going back. The piece that acts the same as the lock nut does not have anything to keep it locked in place. One suggestion might be BLUE LocTite. Don't even think about using red because it needs heat to be removed. Thanks, Brad. I'll re-post this on RC Groups.
Hi John, thanks for the comment. I appreciate the repost too. I assume that accounts for the high views in a short time. 👍 You are right, you do have to drill out the wheel opening where the nut goes thru, and I failed to mention that, but honestly , there's no choice in my case. However, I can still go back to stock using the stock wheels and hub adapters if for some reason I needed to. So far , I haven't had any of the hub extenders come loose and I'm not using any loctite . But you are right, a drop of blue would be a good idea to be on the safe side. All good points. Thanks for again brother.
Very impressive video my friend very informative have some excellent information you the man you definitely know about it that blew my mind that was really interesting and thorough I enjoy the video bro and I thank you for sharing hope you're doing well take care and I'll see you soon be safe have a wonderful day and Happy RCing BRO...👍
Nice video. Perfect explaned. Only thing .. There is a downside to hub extenders.. Bearings wear faster. More load on steering components... So extenders are needed sometime but don't go wider than needed... Good luck and keep it up man.
Thanks buddy, I actually have a lot of subs more interested in RC cars than quads. So I'm trying to post a little more car stuff when the opportunity presents itself. Thanks for the support Brian.
hi! got a small but really big question... so the stock hub adapter, has right around the center of it around the axle that it goes on, some protrusions (you can see them at 0:41) which make the hub adapter only touch the inside of the hub bearing casing(the outside of the bearing is fixed into the hub, and the interior has the axle through it so that it can rotate). so if the hub adapter only touches the inside of the bearing, there is no friction with the other walls of the hub exterior or the exterior part of the bearing casing. BUT the hub extender you have here does not have these protrusions, which means that it will rub on the bearing casing where it shouldn't, on the exterior edge or on the bearing shields. this i think actually happens to you too, as i can see at 2:16 there are a lot of friction marks on the extender. so.....maybe these extenders are not the way to go? maybe another brand offers the correct ones for wltoys ?
Yes, they can rub if you tighten it too tight . The stock axle pin is thin and bends easily. I have since drilled mine out to 2mm and installed hardened steel pins that do not bend and the hub adapters do not rub.
By the way, I'm assuming you're in South Carolina. I am in Sunset Beach NC. Are there any RC hobby shops around the area or tracks? If you have a chance let me know.
El pin que traen esos adaptadores, (la pieza de metal pequeña que se mete por el agujero), no entra en el agujero de la barra del eje, hay que usar el pin de origen y ese, baila en el adaptador nuevo...
Thanks a lot for this video and your effort! I wish I had seen it a day earlier. I think I bought the wrong extender for my Wltoys 124018, this has an axle of only 3mm. Do you have a recommendation by any chance for widening vehicles with axles that are 3mm? Simply replace the axle at the 124018 to one with 4mm will probably not be possible, or?
To upgrade the axle size , you'd have to use larger diameter hub bearings, which would require using a hub that could accommodate the larger bearings. I'm not aware of an upgrade kit for that purpose.
@@RCinginSC Thanks for the quick reply! That's too bad. I have some very nice stadium truck wheels here that I wanted to run on my Wltoys 124018. Do you know by chance an extender that fits 3mm axles and is not too wide?
@@tommygo9185 I did a quick search on Amazon and didn't immediately see any for M3 axle thread. If you do find some, definitely go with shortest length that will work for sure. I've bent a front spindle very easily with hub adaptors. There's so much leverage on the spindle with the wheel so far off centerline, one hard landing and your buying a spindle. Especially with M3 spindle, it will be more fragile. I'd recommend that if you plan on jumping it or bashing it, avoid using extenders all together and simply put your money in wheels that will fit the stock setup. Hope that helps. Have a blessed day.
@@RCinginSC Thanks again for your effort and tips. In the meantime, I also found something that might fit, if that interests anyone here. The following set from LC Racing is recommended and should fit the 3mm axles: L6159 Alloy Hex Winchers, +15mm, Aluminum 4pcs. Whether it really fits, I can unfortunately not yet confirm.
Appreciate the video and questions answered. I had the same issue myself. I got wheels for my Big Rock that were rubbing along the steering servo. Ordered a pair of 20mm extenders on amazon for a few bucks hopefully they work. One question that I had that one hobby dude told me. If you get extenders they could screw up the servo and or other parts cuz they’re not meant to go wider. Is this true? First time RC basher ova here haha. Thanks for your help once again. Be safe.
I'll say that the extenders might put slight more load on the servo , but not much , in my opinion. The servo will only move its designed travel. The only real concern is that if you bash it really hard, the extenders create more of a leverage point and could potentially break the hub. But I don't bash mine. It's strictly a recon vehicle. Thanks for watching.
@@RCinginSC Thanks so much...yea I’m def bashing my Big Rock. Idk if I would say I’m goin really hard. I’m only running the thing on 2s still so and not jumping it crazy so hopefully I won’t break the hubs. I did get a few diff 20mm hub extenders on the web. Can’t seem to find one that fits over the axel of the Rock perfectly. I’m drilling the opening to make it fit over axel as well as drilling the pin slots larger to make the stock ones fit. The ones that come with are to thin for the axel in BR. Do you think I should be okay with the modifications I’m doin? And if not, do you know of any extenders that fit the BR without doing anything? Sorry for so much info. Appreciate the help dude.
@@bilbobaggens6130 Sounds like the mods will be necessary. Always try to drill as accurately as possible. (Using a drill press etc) and use as a precise drillbit as possible. Anytime you increase the durability, you can have more confidence when bashing. Good luck and have fun.
@@RCinginSC yes they are def necessary if I want to use these wheels I got (which I do haha)...I actually had to order a 25mm set just to get the wheel nuts because the 20mm were a hair too short and not catching the wheel axel. Do you recommend any loctite or superglue in any spots? i.e. where the pin goes into hub extender, or anywhere else?
@@bilbobaggens6130 Sure. Some medium strength loctite on wheel nuts would be a good idea since the right side wheels will have a tendency to unscrew themselves. And a drop of glue for the axle pin is also a good idea so it doesn't fall out and become lost in case the wheel were to ever come off. All great ideas. 👍
Link for hub extenders in description. I didn't link the wheels and tires because they are no longer available. If I find them somewhere else, I will add them to the description. Thanks for watching.
@@RCinginSC and sorry for so many question I’m just brand new to all these Do you think I should get a longer hub extender is for the same car as you but i don’t know if it was enough for you or you think a little wider would be better and would having a longer hub extender affect something else?? And thank you you have no idea of how much you have help me with the project well I wouldn’t have been able to finish without your tutorials😅
The one linked in description will be ample for most any tire/wheel combo you find. Unless you just get crazy with a 10" wheel or something like that. Lol. No worries abut the questions. That's why I like to do tutorials. One word of caution about tightening the hub Extender....don't tighten it too tight or it will bend the small pin going through the axle. If you notice that the wheel seems to have some drag to it like it's rubbing after you install the extender. Take it back off and look at the pin. Just take some pliers and straighten it and put back together. Good luck and have fun. Share your progress with me if you want . You can email me at rcinginsc@yahoo.com. thanks.
Yes, that's showing the inner diameter of the thread. The thread size is 4mm with a pitch of 0.6mm thus they show that hole at 3.4. Don't worry , it will work. The only thing you might have to do depending on the wheels you have is to drill out the hole in the wheel to 5mm so the extender nut can pass thru. Pro tip...don't not over tighten the hub extender or you will bend the axle pin.
is good work for Hub-extenders.

the drive shafts will be prone to bending on that extender.
I'm not using mine as a basher. It's merely a recon type Buggie. If you do not feel comfortable using extenders, then do not use them.
