There is a list on rc10.com in the b44.1 section, but you don't need all that stuff they list. I just got the avid chassis, +8 kit, ballast weights, and triad. Already had all the avid springs. The front arms are reinforced for the .2 and shock towers are .5 mm thicker up and clearanced for the bb shocks.

I have been running the buggy every weekend since April and never had any problems but now this is happening every weekend.

Any thoughts?

Do you have the diff nut on the left and diff screw and thrust on the right?

Ya. Ive double and triple checked that Ive built it right.
Racing in a couple hours so well see if it holds up today or if it loosens up again.

If it loosens again either get new bolt n nut or just put a small dab of blue loctite on it.

I've had the same issues in the past. Now I like to put a little loctite on the axle threads every few weeks. Problem solved.

The stock wheel nuts are crap. Invest in some serrated nuts such as tenJconcepts ones. Digs into the wheel and holds.

I agree the Jconcepts wheels nuts are a worthwhile investment on any 1/10th car. Even when they get old they still have a good bite and don't come off.
