If the diameter of the rears are in the neighborhood of 2", those hexes look like 12mm in size, just looking at them proportionally. Of course, you could measure from one flat to the opposite flat with a specialized measuring instrument called a ruler, and you'd know for sure. ;)

Thanks for the reply, I don't have them in hand or I would do that LOL but I do appreciate your input. I was wondering if Associated hex adapters part no. 7497 would allow these to fit on a vintage RC10. They are 12MM adapters.

It looks like they would work, I assume the AE uses axles with cross-pins on the rear, so you'd just insert the cross-pins, slip on the #7497 hex adapters, then mount the wheels. What are those wheels from, anyway? A Raider?

Not sure what they fit, I got them in a lot of parts and then sold them. I had them in hand for only a couple of days. Thanks again for your input.

If you go to your local auto parts store you can get a very cheap vernier , plastic one will work perfect. Used to have a bunch of mini ones that a steel supplier gave out to the shop, all gone now.

Those are proline wheels for an ultima. The front wheel is universal (can use metric or standard bearings) but the rears came with an rc10 fitment or a hex for the kyosho cars. Don't recall if there was one for a losi.
