Frequently Asked Questions
- What are hex hubs and why do I need them for my RC car? — Hex hubs are drivetrain components that connect your wheels to the axles and drivetrain of your RC vehicle. They transmit power from the motor through the transmission to rotate the wheels. They're essential parts that eventually wear or can be damaged during crashes, making replacement hubs like these AXIAL components necessary spares to keep your RC car UK model running smoothly.
- Are these hubs compatible with my AXIAL RC model? — The 12mm hex size is a standard specification used across many AXIAL vehicle models. To confirm compatibility with your specific RC car, we recommend checking your model's parts diagram or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop, who can verify fitment for your particular vehicle.
- Why choose aluminium hex hubs over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium hex hubs offer superior durability and longevity compared to plastic alternatives. They're lighter than many metal options, which improves handling and acceleration, whilst the black anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and a premium appearance that will make your RC build look professional.
- How often will I need to replace these hex hubs? — The lifespan of hex hubs depends on driving conditions, frequency of use, and driving style. Heavy bashing, competitive racing, and crashes can accelerate wear. Having spare hubs like this four-pack on hand means you can continue enjoying your RC hobby without significant downtime when replacements become necessary.
- Can I use these hubs as upgrades to my existing vehicle? — Yes, if your RC model originally came with plastic or lower-specification hex hubs, upgrading to these genuine AXIAL aluminium components can improve durability, reduce maintenance, and enhance overall drivetrain reliability, particularly if you use your RC car UK model frequently or in challenging conditions.
