You've just got too add a spacer sleeve inside the hub carrier, between the two bearings. Make it small enough in diameter so that it just fits over the axle shaft. This way the inner bearing races will tighten against the spacer and the wheel nut won't be able to side load the bearing, causing the binding. MIP axle kits have this spacer in them. I have made some of my own as well.
cwthemachinist What did you use as a spacer? I've got the same shafts and the same problem, they are otherwise pretty decent but I keep spinning wheel hex's out as I can't run them tight enough, with or without washers!
Marc Pearson, you can use steel tubing or small steel standoffs. Check into your local hardware store. You may have to do a little filing our grinding to get the length just right. I made mine on my metal lathe.
Center ring out of old bearings work good as a spacer for this i used them on my rustler and stampede no more binding 😊 Just pop the center out of some old worn bearings and put it between then bearings 😉
Wow Kevin Talbot keep up I like all your vids I like how you fix your RC cars keep up the good work what's hard as you can have a great day and always be a like on this video🖒👍🖒👍
Another cracking mod video!👍 Good luck with those drive shafts i found them weaker than the stock one's on my 6s slash, the drive pins kept popping out through the spring retainer's!...........i use the traxxas steel cvd's now, would use mip's but they cost more plus the shipping
i broke a front wheel hub on my rustler and replaced it with an rpm one and when i tighten up the wheel it would spin slower than the left one with the same bearings after a while i notice the inside of the hub is smaller than the original one and i believe the wheel axels hit the plastic inside the hub but im not sure if its the rpm hubs
Are the rear Hubs thicker then stock has a similar problem with one of mine it was about 0.5 mm thicker so had to take a little out of the inside of the hub so the bearings sit closer
Kevin Talbot that's odd as hell then. Huh. No clue. If I remember right, the front and rear axles on my stampede 4x4 were two different offsets. Is it possible you got the wrong axles?
It depends on the parts you want to replace in high impact areas such as a-arms and shock towers you want to stick to things like rpm plastics because they can easily flex and return to shape absorbing the impact where aluminum will bend and stay bent. But in lower impact areas where you don't want much flex like hubs, shocks and hingepin braces aluminum can be really beneficial
I need those drive shafts. Just saying, i cut my finger in 2 places, bruised it and numbed it trying to get that stupid shaft onto the motor area. Its because i had to bend the rpm plastic with two screw drivers whilst trying to slip it in. Took nearly an hour... yours looks much easier

old bearing centers
@Kevin Talbot I recommend you get the RPM wide bumper. It protects the arms, and the shock. Much better than the stock bumper.
Thing works too!
I have one on my rustler and its saved my car several times
I got the rustler vxl and it's a blast! I'm so happy!
Killing it will the RC videos dude. You are taking over XD
Thats one nice Rustler you have there Kevin
Wow Kevin Talbot keep up I like all your vids I like how you fix your RC cars keep up the good work what's hard as you can have a great day and always be a like on this video🖒👍🖒👍
you have the best videos dude GET THE TRAXXAS BANDIT 2wd vxl or brushed
It seems to be the design of the RPM rear hubs. I've seen it before. If you use the stock drive shafts you won't have a problem.
Hey kev great vid man I have some new integety drive shafts coming too
Another cracking mod video!👍 Good luck with those drive shafts i found them weaker than the stock one's on my 6s slash, the drive pins kept popping out through the spring retainer's!...........i use the traxxas steel cvd's now, would use mip's but they cost more plus the shipping
Make more rustler videos!!!!
The are great, good inspiration for my rustler xl-5
Hey Kev, where did you get your Allen keys that fit in your 1/4 impact gun? Thanks for the awesome vids!
I just bought the traxxas one and my drill opens up by twisting it and tightness the same way
What kind of body is that Kevin? Looks awesome!
kevin when will your next bash video be out, also do you recommend the slash 2wd brushed just for a cheap basher?
Personally I would, they can take a hell of a Beating
Where did you get the tires on the rustler
Great vid man👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
try using a shim for the driveshaft, that could help with the binding.
i broke a front wheel hub on my rustler and replaced it with an rpm one and when i tighten up the wheel it would spin slower than the left one with the same bearings after a while i notice the inside of the hub is smaller than the original one and i believe the wheel axels hit the plastic inside the hub but im not sure if its the rpm hubs
File down the inner edge of the hex so it doesn't rub on the bearing and bind it up? Does it have a drive pin?
No
Genious at work.
You forgot to put on the teflon washer.
you always need spacers when you do aftermarket cvts i don't know why but that usually seems to do the trick
Put either a metal washer on before the wheel or a new wheel bearing
Are the rear Hubs thicker then stock has a similar problem with one of mine it was about 0.5 mm thicker so had to take a little out of the inside of the hub so the bearings sit closer
What brush less motor esc combo do u u think I should get for my slash 2wd watch my videos to see it
I have a rustler brushed. What should I upgrade first?
The stock front arms on a rustler are tough as shit, I've managed to break the chassis but not the front arms
lol me too
If I manage the Traxxas Stampede 4x4 driveshafts I have installed on my Rustler VXL, I'm getting the driveshafts you got
Could you give a link?
Why no rpm bumper? Don't you think the Rustler needs it?
Hey kev does your vlx rustler over heat much?
Awesome do more videos on the rustler
I noticed while you were bitching, you were missing installing the spacer washers. Did you put them back?
I tried with and without, makes no difference!
Kevin Talbot that's odd as hell then. Huh. No clue. If I remember right, the front and rear axles on my stampede 4x4 were two different offsets. Is it possible you got the wrong axles?
its called a crush tube... u need one in between the two bearings...
You need to put a wosher between the hex and the bairing
Are those driveshafts waterproof
Does someone have a link to those rear driveshafts
Thanks
What about the wide front bumper from RPM?
You didn't put the washers back in
makes no difference if they are in or not i tried both
Christian Harris n
Kevin, what esc are you using on your rusler?
What's badlands are you using please an a part number you have
Try to use the grab screws off of The original Traxxas driveshaft then put it in the hex
By the way are aluminum parts better or rpm
What tires do you use
what the best motor combo for my axeal jeep cherokee ta make it fast like your green truck
What tires would you use on a savage xs
what drive shafts are those?
I have slash 2wd, i want to changing some parts...( plastic parts or aluminum parts?)
It depends on the parts you want to replace in high impact areas such as a-arms and shock towers you want to stick to things like rpm plastics because they can easily flex and return to shape absorbing the impact where aluminum will bend and stay bent. But in lower impact areas where you don't want much flex like hubs, shocks and hingepin braces aluminum can be really beneficial
Thank you 🙏🏼
Will these parts work with the stampede? They look similar
Yed
What type of axles are thouse
Get aluminum shocks for your next upgrade
what ones do you recommend?
Kevin Talbot pro line
I have those same drive shafts
I had the same with fast track shafts and you can remove the blue part when the wheels on absolute waste of money
kev or anyone i would like to know if the castle sidewinder 3 a good moter for the rustler my titan burned out looking to go brushless
Gummy Tree yes it is.
thanks i want to get a moter worth the money
It’s what I run on mine never had a problem
My son put a Sidewinder 3 in his Bandit and my Valeneon motor in my Rustler still wins in the races.
He left the teflon spacers on the table you can see near the end
Where did you get that drill bit
power tool tip, amazon
Likely not meant to tightened that tight. Just use locknuts and tighten until there is no bind.

HB Designs feelsbadman
there's a tool that comes with ur car that does that....
put the washer behind the hex
Send them back and get some decent one's buddy 👍 dont waste your time like i did sending them back and trying another set 😂
Am the 1000 Guy to this video
Hi
Add another washer
Link to axels anyone???
You forgot the teflon washers
Yep. Those teflon washers go between the hex adapter and the bearings to keep the correct spacing so it doesn't bind up.
Yep and also in between the inner bearing on the driveshafts
Please do slash 2wd
Put the hex a bit more off
asom
Dye the chassis black
Make a 4wd rustler
aczl600ss there is a Rustler 4x4 now
YOUR MISSING 2 FREAAKIN WASHERS
Washer....maybe or not 🤔
I cashed my rustler and now to the aluminum tie bar is bent because my car is bullet proof so something had to give
Hey dude you mind if you can give me one I don't have one I've always wanted one can you please send me one to me awesome dude
