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.

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.

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 Smile 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.
