Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions on securing wheels so they dont fall off other than swinging of the tool like its a real car, have added white plumbers thread tape to the axles and even placed a drop of superglue onto the rear flanged side of the nut so when it mates with the rim theres a little bit of extra hope, however have still managed to have wheels fall off or come loose, happens with both the kit rims and aka rims, wasted so much money on this thing with the few small things ive had to replace and buying spares and even adding double sided tape between the spur and spur cover so it doesnt sound like a gas car, lame for $500, any suggestions.

What some of us did is to apply a thin layer of threadlock on the axle, and let it dry overnight. Then when we secure it the next day, it does not loosen anymore.

you cannot use AKA rims. unless they are the new EVO type.

i have never seen the std rims fall off.

I have also had no issues with Associated rims.
10mm hex in the front.

Same results as above for me.

But I purchased these rims from Ryper as was advised these would be fine for the bmax4, asked for genuine Yokomo but couldn't remember if it was the colour I wanted wasn't in stock or the quantity.....

I use serrated Jconcepts nuts in front and serrated TLR lock nuts in the rear.
The only time when a wheel came of, was when I had used the standard pins and one of the pin broke. (you should use the hardened pins available, the asso whel conversion has already got hardened pins)

My aka wheels fall off, only after the over tightened superglued and plumbers taped wheel nut bails first... Have just found apparently aka wheels can't be used.

Did you try serrated nuts?

Initially we thought they would be fine. As they don't have any issues on other cars with 12mm hex.

There are people who have no problems with those wheels also.

Never had any problems with the original wheels and nuts.

Gents, there could be a few reasons why the front left rims will fall off.. I had my fair share of this problem and no one had the solution to solve it, like above, I have tried loctite but to no avail, when doing club racing.. It does not give Me the confidence to push the buggy.

However, with a little help and discussion with close buddies, what we did was to decrease the reverse power, we are allow to engage reverse in our esc. Currently on tekin gen 2, set her up with the delay reverse and power down to 20percent... So far the front left Tyres are holding well during the club racers.

I had at least stripped 5 front sets of rims and currently on kyosho zx5 front rims and tlr 22/4 front rims..

Hope the above helps.. Cheers!

Why would you want to drive in reverse anyway?
