i have also seen people mount the ESC on both the right and left side of the chassis, which is now considered the best location?
You can get wider metal hexes, they are better all around since they don't stick to the wheel. The axles stick past the nut even with the widest hex, you should grind it down so they don't catch on boards and break parts.
There are 3 sizes, .165, .195 and .225
