SAVAGE FLUX PROBLEM! PLEASE HELP!
The problem I have been experiencing is the wheel hex on the truck is spinning inside the wheel, stripping the wheel. I got this truck 3 or 4 weeks ago, and on the first run, after a lot of searching, I found this happened (only on the right rear wheel). Once I found it, I swapped the right side wheels thinking this would help, tightening them down harder. Today, the 8th pack through, this happened again, and this time, I do not have any other wheels to swap. I tried the other wheel and it quickly started to spin inside the wheel. My question is, is this a common problem?What shouldI do? What is the best wayto remove big monster tires without ruining the tire?
Thanks, please respond!

RE: SAVAGE FLUX PROBLEM! PLEASE HELP!
the flux has so much torqe it will do that.
you need to make sure the hex pin is in good shape and the hex,i use the aluminum ones,and put blue loctight on the wheel nut and tighting it down
that should help.also look at your rims were the hex is it might have a hairline crack in it

Your the first person I have heard of having this issue. When you mount the wheels and tighten down the nut does the wheel wobble? As for removing the tires there are several things you can do, but the best thing to do would be to find a set on ebay.

This only happens on the right rear though. Stripped 3 wheels!

Just got back from lhs, he said to glue the hexes in with JB quick weld. They are drying now, will sit there for at least 24 hours. My plans are to run these tires until they are slicks, then get pro-line big joes on HD white Velocity rims with the 23mm XL width hexes. Then maybe convert to XL FLUX in and few years.
Thanks guys!!
