Yeah Racing 15mm offset aluminium hex adapters

Coming from Yeah Racing are 15mm offset aluminium hex adapters for a range of crawler kits. The adapters are machined from high-quality aluminium and they are equipped with 12mm hexes to suit most crawler wheels. The extra offset makes for an increased track width which translates to improved stability and less chances of rolling the truck while also more force can be put on the outer tyre which further increases grip during climbs. The adapters fit a range of trucks including the ones from Axial, they are available in red, blue and black colour and are usable with wheels that sport a centre hole of at least 5mm.
