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.
