Default new tires

Hey guys, I am new to the MT scene,and have a question on tire mounting,I have a .25 savage and just installed pro-line 23 mm hubs and new rims and big joes on it( kick ass looking),when tightening the outer hub nuts down is it advisable to locktite them or not?

No you do not want to use locktight on your wheel nuts.The nuts have a plastic part in the center that holds them on.If you used locktight it would be very hard to get them off.
