Status: offline 		 Hey all, I just replaced a spur gear on my revo 3.3 and tighten it to where i can push it barley with my finger as i have a allen wrench on the other end. I took it out for a drive and for some reason the lock nut on the end kept coming loose causing me to have no drive. I have replaced this lock nut with a new nut but still it comes loose again. Any ideas on what it could be?

The washers are what help keep the nut from backing off and if they are flattend out, it will.
