SMT10 Wheel Repair Hub

prusaprinters

<p>The factory wheels on Axial SMT10 trucks tend to strip the hubs. I tried the epoxy repair method, but it didn't work very well so I created a bolt in replacement hub.</p><p>This hub is designed for a flat 7mm thick 12mm hex. The factory Axial hex is 4.5mm thick and has round extension that comes through the wheel. It will not work with this adapter.</p><p>To use this adapter</p><ol><li>Cut out the stripped hex from your wheel. I used side cutters to remove it and a small dremel grinding stone to clean it up. Leave the ribs in place as I used them to center the adapter.</li><li>Once the hub is removed, place an adapter in the wheel and use the bolt holes to drill pilot holes through the rim.</li><li>Remove adapter and enlarge the holes in the rim with a larger bit.</li><li>When attaching the hub, you can use 6 or 3 bolts. I used 3 8mm M3 boths and they are holding fine.</li></ol><h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>How I Designed This</h3><p>I designed this hub adapter by modifying the scad script "Customisable SLW Style Hub for RC Wheel" by jruutiai. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2201304">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2201304</a></p>
