17mm threaded-axle wheel hexes

Arrma Vorteks 223S BLX DSC 2WD · ARA3505

This changes the wheel mounting interface to 17mm hex so you can use compatible 17mm wheels. It opens up a different wheel-and-tire choice, but the finished width, tire clearance and effective gearing still need checking.

ARA-3150ARRMA 17mm Wheel Hex Conversion for Threaded Axles (+10mm Offset)1

ARRMA documents this option for this edition. Check the installed parts before ordering.

Installation notes

  • ARA-3150 is the threaded-axle 17mm conversion set for this 2WD platform. The supplied adapters change the wheel interface; they are not the older 4X2 BOOST-to-4WD kit.
  • Compatible 17mm wheels and tires are separate. The package is described with +10mm offset, so check the finished track, hub engagement and body/suspension clearance.
  • A larger tire changes effective gearing. Confirm diameter and wheel offset, check motor temperature and adjust gearing when needed.
  • Use the kit contents and instructions for the actual threaded axle. Do not substitute individual axle hardware from an unrelated 17mm conversion.
