Thanks but I’m really trying to do this low budget
Just got a MT8E Be6S and that’s taking big part of $$ right now.
Seems like only option though

*I have the same problem. lol Too many models(8 r/c's) that I want to upgrade/fix. This is why I am parting some things and selling others.
I stripped my rear wheel a few weeks ago. I just swapped one of the front wheels for the rear wheel and it is a good temporary fix.
I’m confused. Sorry. If it’s stripped, front or back wouldn’t matter, correct? Or do you mean because of switching the stripped rear to the front, without the torque it’s not a problem?

It depends on your model, 2wd you can use the striped wheels front (like I did 
). 4wd start thinking in new wheels...I saw an article few days ago about repairing a stripped wheel, can't remember where..

Yes, if you put the stripped one in the front (on a 2WD) there is no power input therefore it is just rolling. However when you go to put it on, since there no wheel hex when you try to tighten it just spins. What you have to do is hold the axle with a cross wrench and then tighten the wheel but with another cross wrench.

I have repaired a stripped wheel, but have never written about it until now. I used even length metal dowels, created from a paperclip that I cut with some sturdy wire cutters. Simply drill 4-5 tiny holes (holes should be about the same diameter as a paperclip) evenly spaced into the wheel's rim, and through the wheel hex. The hole pattern should be square for 4 holes or pentagon if 5 holes, and slightly smaller than the diameter of the wheel hex. I've only done this with plastic hexes, but with some dexterity/precision you could drill into aluminum/alloy hexes, too. It helps to glue the hex to the wheel first, to keep it stable and aligned while drilling. The hole you're drilling will need to go through the wheel's rim and for maximum strength all the way through the hex. Drill one hole at a time, coat the the dowel with glue (Gorilla Glue works good because it expands) and insert it into the hole. If the dowel is too long, cut or file it off so it's flush with the outer wheel surface and flush with the inside of the hex. Let it dry good (I used Gorilla glue and waited 24 hours). This will hold those wheels on there really strong. I did this on a 1/8 scale brushless monster truck and it's been holding up for 10-15 4S lipos so far. You'll ruin that wheel hex, but at $1.00 a piece, it's a lot cheaper then buying a new (or pair) of wheels. The hardest part was finding the right size drill bit, because you want the dowels to fit snug. Good luck!
