Question Serrated vs Lock Nut for Wheels

What type of nuts do you use on the wheels? Serrated or Lock Nut?

Locknuts are good but the nylon wears so eventually they will come loose, never had it with serrated though so won't go back

Thanks for fast reply. Will order some serrated with next order and see how they go.

The nyloc ones do wear out eventually, the serrated ones are good but if they're a bit loose they will fall off.
I now use serrated nyloc ones I found on ebay, these babies are awesome 💪

The serrations do eventually wear out/off.

But you've usually lost the nut by then anyway.

They also chew up the wheel (a bit) but tbh, you'll more than likely have ditched the wheel before it causes a problem.

If you go on ebay you can usually get 10-20 for the price of 4 from an rc manufacturer, as long a you don't mind it not being anodized.
