Default Re: Anyone had this happen? howd ya fix it?

I have the spring steel hubs in the front of my car and have a small problem.

I usually run CS premounts and I have a bunch of the old spoke style as well as some of the new bbs style wheels. I have the proper screws and the small bevel washers to fix inside the smaller opening in those wheels. That being said here's my problem, no matter how hard I turn the screw, trust me its on there when i put it on he track, sometimes either one of the front wheels will go flying off during a race. Has anyone else had this happen to them? It has happened to me 4-5 times this year that I know of in the A main and happened this past Sunday. There is nothing worse than knowing you have a decent car out there only to watch a wheel go flying off your car to end your race. Any REAL suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Thanks
Yea i've had this happened on my T1R , just put the washer the right way around and a small dab of thread lock on the screw threads, works a treat, but you'll have to turn harder to get the wheels off but it's fine
