Hello

I would like to change hex because my wheel is destroyed in 3s
I would like to buy aluminum hexagons, but I come from France and the hot racing hexes are very expensive.



Can I install traxxas or losi hexes? if so can you give me the links thank you

Yes the traxxas ones work. I'm horrible with the internet so no links. The hexes are pretty standard for 12mm, alot of them have a 4mm axle. I even ran axial hexes on mine for a while. They fit the stock rims but not my newer proline rims, so I changed to traxxas slash hexes.

I'm on a ruckus 4wd and the axis is 6 mm thick
 
Hmm. I have a couple 2wds. Wouldn't expect that much of a difference in the 4x4. Usually a 6mm axle stub would take a 14 or 17 mm hex. New to me, so I guess I'm not much help then. Are your wheel bearings 6mm in the inside diameter? Seems odd ecx would change them. But I've never seen one so wouldn't know.
 
Tekno should have some. Not sure of the width of them though.

Yes the diameter inside the bearings is 6 mm
 
The Tekno RC TKR5571A hexes that I posted about earlier are 6mm bore. They may not be the cheapest things, but if you want quality machined aluminum, you will pay for that machining process.
 
Yes the diameter inside the bearings is 6 mm
Be careful with this measurement, because ECX uses a stepped drive axle. You are correct that the inside diameter of the bearing is 6mm, but the inside diameter of the wheel hexes is 5mm. That's because of the step that I mentioned. So, if you're using stock axles, you'll want a wheel hex that has a 5mm hole.

Here are some 12mm hexes with 5mm holes that will work. They're under $5.00 including shipping to the US, but the shipping may be a little different to France.

I bought these a month earlier. They have an inner diameter of 5mm they can not adapt :https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B074NP3JFT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and the next day I bought these. It is written that they have an inside diameter of 6mm but after measuring it was 5mm:https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07GFF1G4L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
