Hey guys so i have a tornado s30 with volcano axle stubs and wheel hexes and i have the hop up kit installed, heres my problem, when i put my tires on, if i tighten them to much the wheels wont spin, if i loosen the wheels just a bit to allow them to spin freely they come loose during driving and the tire flies off, ive checked bearings and changed a couple even and it stumps me completely, can anyone help me out here?
That's been a problem with not only Redcat, but other companies vehicles as well that use the 12mm hex set up. The tighter you make the wheel, the more it pushes the hex hub into either the steering knuckle or rear upright. You kind of just have to find that sweet spot. Also from time to time you should swap your wheel nuts out with new ones so the plastic in the threads isn't too worn out. Of course a little loc tite doesn't hurt either.
