need help with baja wheel!
i was having a blast driving my KM baja in a sand pit today. i did some pretty dang big jumps.
the steering rods popped off a few times, no prob, just popped them back on!
but then a rear wheel came off. the wheel nut was pretty warm, and i think thats what caused it to come loose.
the problem is, just when it came off...i had gunned the throttle. so the metal wheel hex stripped out the plastic hex of the wheel!
anyone have any trick for making the wheel usable again? these wheels are soo stinking expensive!!!

I will be blunt, your gonna spend more time and money repairing that wheel than what its worth. You can buy 2 replacements for like $20 off Ebay.
