If the wheel was stripped then you need a new wheel or wheels.

If the wheel is all stripped out, you'll need a new one. No way to fix it.

You can try using JB Weld and permanently putting a hex in there. Worked on some Traxxas wheels I had.

Just buy a wheel.

DMR15 Has some hurricane rims he wants to sell if thats the type that is stripped out.

not all the way stripped out just the edges are kind of round. couldn't i just CA glue it in place. and dont boa clays run for like $39 a set

I too would glue a hex into the wheel until the tire was shot.
how to fix - Mr. Tune - 01-12-2007
Wheels and tires take soooo much abuse, I highly dought CA glue would last very long.
how to fix - Meatwad - 01-12-2007
not even the thick stuff

Bond a hex into the wheel....epoxy or the like.

NO CA! JB Weld is the ONLY solution dude!!! I think it's like 5 bux. Let it sit in there at least 24 hrs. Don't worry about clogging up the axle hole. You can redrill it out.

Jb weld will definitly work. the stuff is amazing. You can even drill and tap it

I dont know why you bother asking. You know you'll be at my door with that busted wheel in hand. Aint nothing a little Elmers and a B.F.H. cant fix.

nope i already jb welded it
how to fix - Eddie F - 01-13-2007
The tire is glued to the wheel , the wheel is driven by the axle , so the tire is driven by the wheel and the conecting medium is the glue
Little food for thought .

there is a lot more glue securing a tire to a wheel then there would be holding a 14mm hex into a rim.
how to fix - Meatwad - 01-14-2007
in my case its jb weld holding the hex in so i think it will be fine
