revo wheel nut always coming loose?
the wheel nuts on my revo always come losse[>:]
is there an aftermarket strong locking nut i could buy? i lost one today, and messed up my day of bashing.
i beat the living day lights out of my revo for 2 hours before i lost the wheel nut, and nothing broke!

Forget locktite on wheel nuts. Just get some fresh nylocks from Tony's Screws. Get a pack of 20 and change them out when they quit staying tight on their own. Locktite will only work if you let it dry, and if you take your wheels off as much as I do you don't have time to wait for locktite to dry.
Another thing that really helps is to get some aluminum drive hexes that clamp on the axles stubs. Not the traxxas aluminum replacements that just slip on like the plastic units, get some of the split clamp or O ring retainer style. These hexes will allow you to tighten your wheel nuts much tighter without putting any pressure on your wheel bearings.
