About wheel nut, the solution to be using US style nut !
The M4 thread looks pretty near than the US thread (CVD type)
Use aluminium Losi nut directly on original TRF wheel shaft !
For the fun, in Japan I saw satoshi Maeuzumi using Rayspeed rear hub, with B4 CVD's, when I ask why, he said that's just for big race to do not loose a wheel during the race, he use US type nut with MIP CVD's . Since he saw my car with my tip, he use evrytime !  |
Right I have put some heat shrink over the cvd's which solves the issue of the pins coming although the nut is still coming loose
I tried some thread lock on the axle whilst still running the hb serrated nuts and it still came loose just before the end of my first run tonight
It just doesnt make too much sense to me as my first 2 meetings with the car went fine, surely the axles dont need replacing now after 5 meetings ??
I will see if I can pick up some losi wheel nuts on sunday at worksop
Can anyone help please ?
