Damn Goldilocks syndrome! Received the UM510 and Golden Horizons hex hubs. The hubs are little thick compared to the stock Rocky ones. They will not work with the LA245, the axle doesn't protrude through the wheel to have a nut. The UM510 are longer before the pin hole but just a little longer afte...

How do they look? Would you say they're nearly identifical to the 5062s? Can't wait to see the pics with the hex's... By the way, which 12mm hex's did you order? I'm assuming that you can't use the stock Rocky ones because of your previous modification and the fact that they're pin-less, right? So g...

Actually it started out as a CVD solution for Ultima/Optima but I inadvertently hijacked the thread. :) It's not even over yet either. I have two sets of Kyosho UM510 com...

I believe the LA245 CVDs would work fine in the Rocky, you'd probably need to insert a 1 or 2mm thick shim on the inside of the hub before running the axle through it (I'd try 1mm first), that would reduce how far the axle threads extend outside the hubs, so you don't run out of threads while bolti...

Nice score. I bid on that item, thinking that I could use the Turbo Rocky chasis on my Rocky. Congrats on winning it! Can anyone confirm if the aluminum chasis will work on a Rocky? There's a guy on Ebay selling the Turbo Rocky chasis but I'm reluctant to spend $70 not fully knowing whether it will ...

So I'm confused... If you have a Rocky (or Raider) you need the W-5062 version which I've also confirmed via an old Tower Hobbies catalog. But it's near impossible to find. Are there any other options? According to what I've read, the W-5061 has a shorter axle, does that matter if used in a Rocky? Y...
