502x front wheels
Hi, does anyone else have problems have with the front wheels on their 502/511? Mine keep coming loose and ends up rounding off the hex in the wheel. Saying that, when i use Durango or Assosiated wheels it seems to be fine so is it just Tamiya wheels?
Thanks in advance Dave

Tamiya did change the wheels to reinforce them but it was a while ago now and any of the new cars will come with the new wheels - but it was a big problem back on the 501X.
I ran JConcepts Rulux wheels on my 501X as they were much much better.

Dab of threadlock on the threaded part of the axle each time you put a wheel on.....

502 wheels
Cheers guys. Yes Jimmy the Rulux wheels do fit great as do the Durango wheels. The Tamiya wheels just dont seem to be a great fit considering they are meant for that car. Thanks for response.

Davy i've never had any problems with wheels coming off my 502x. I use serrated wheel nuts though so maybe that's helping. Dom hasn't had any problems as far as i know either on his 511.

Never had that problem before, recently stripped a hex but that was due to a faulty wheel nut.

Serrated wheel nuts are a must. "Nylock" ones are no good.
Never lost a wheel when using serrated wheel nuts.

Not actually had a wheel come off yet but just not too sure that it wont happen. As i said, Durango wheels work just fine

I use normal 4mm locknuts available from any hardware store. Comes in bulks of many and cost nearly nothing. I replace them on a regular basis and have never lost a wheel or stripped wheels.

I always use th serrated nuts.
But also ensure you line the wheel up properly first...or you could crush the hex in the plastic and cause a fault. I line them up and slowly screw the nut on, watching the hex all the time to ensure a perfect fit. Lee

502 wheels
Cheers Lee. I just got the car last week and have only used it twice and I do like what I've seen so far. I can't quite get my head round why I'm having probs with the Tamiya wheels? Will defo try serrated nuts.
Thanks Dave

Always make sure they are tight before a run. I normally always use tamiya wheels, they have no problems over anything else.
