Default RE: Landslide issue

Well guys my parts came in today. I got to run 1 3/4 tanks in before the freakin wheel flew off! I had issues with the wheel nuts. I had to keep tightening them down so finally i thought i had it down.. So i did a few passes up and down the road and BAM the wheel goes flying down the road and finally stopped into the ditch!. I must say im very impressed with the handling of this truck on the street and holy hell this thing is fast. Im still in the process of leaning it out. The temps were like 170 deg on the cooling head so thats good i think. So here is the bad news. the driver side front axle is warped. Now i went through the tedious process of putting fuel tube in the cups to keep the slack out and the others look fine. Why do i keep warping front dog bones? Im gonna stiffen my other sets up with some sort of metal sleeve then like soldier it to the middle so it makes them stiffer. Anywho for what i paid and as fun as this thing is im a satisfied customer!
