Was it really cold outside? I see you live in providence (awesome place) and i bet its cold up there this time of year. The cold probably made the plastic more fagile.

Have your friend call Losi, they had a wheel hex problem early on where the hex was too narrow.
when the nut is tighend down it pushes the center in too far and they crack.
Losi should make them up and send new hexes too.

Sounds about right, i went thru 4 sets of stock crud wheels, the plastic is way too hard and brittle so snaps if you fart near it. New hexes did not cure the probelem entirely. Tell your friend to get some losi dish rims for the MLST if he doesnt want to go to 1/10 wheels.

In in RI as well, about 10 miles south of Providence. It is NOT cold here by any means, it was 50 with sun yesterday!

Also, my wheel broke off yesterday as well. I orderd 2 sets of rims, and one set of tires.

Both rims are the White Losi Dish wheels.

ANd I am going to call Losi today.
