did you buy the rim and tire together? were the nuts stripped? i love my rims and tires and the price was great right?!?!? who did you order the dogbones from?? i think that the kyosho hubs will fit since the nuts do, i had mine come flying off one day, you have to make sure they are tight, i would ask in the 1/8 buggy thread, email clermontmotorsports and see if he can get them for you.
