Can you clamp the wheel tight?

If you look on the underside of the nut see if there is a chamfer on the edge of the thread, if there is little or no chamfer, when you tighten the nut it will stop on the small shoulder of the CVD axle, and as a result it will strip the hex in your wheels. whether they are Losi, Associated or Tamiya wheels.

It's an easy fix just dremel a lager chamfer on the nut and it will be fine.
