Here are a few things to do if you have wheel nuts falling off.

- Put the nut on backwards (as suggested above).

- Use lower profile wheel nuts/locknuts. Here is an example from Team Associated - part #3438 (http://67.199.85.166/main/productdetails.php?text=3438)

- Make sure you are using axle bearing spacers so you can tighten down the nut without crushing the bearings. Here is the part from Team Associated (http://67.199.85.166/main/productdet...ory=4016.tc4xx)

The original TC3 did not come with axle bearing spacers. The spacer goes inside of the rear hub carrier or front steering block/spindle between the bearings. You can download a FT TC3 exploded parts diagram here (http://aedownloads.com/downloads/dra...wing_fttc3.pdf).
