Not all buggy wheel nuts are the same. The thread pitch for the Ofna wheel nuts, for example, are different from the AE. I learned that the hardway, after I wasted 12 bucks.
Try going to Harbor Freight where they sell thread locker/loctite for real cheap. I use the blue on my wheel nuts and never have a problem with them coming off.
For replacement wheel nuts, try this part number: ASC89094

BTW, Be sure to mind your steering EPA. I'm always careful to make sure the dual rate is not dialed up all the way as this might burn out the servo. Also, try loosening the steering horn/servo saver a few threads. I hear when that's tightened down too much, it puts a strain on the servo which can lead to the servo prematurely failing.
And, also, since I was asked for them through PM:
B-Plate part number and link: ASC89461 or

And Mudguards: ASC 89561
^ IMO, essential upgrades. The mud guards are essential because w/o them I often get stones and pebbles jammed in the axles and dogbone outcups.
