on the front wheels,in the manual it says the lock nut on the front axle is 4-40 5/40, so if im buying some new lock nuts what size is it actually 5/40?

You can get the all plastic black nuts which will fit either 4-40/5-40. If you get the steel or alum locknuts the thread pitch is 5-40. Get the nuts ae uses for the slipper, Ive used these since day 1 in '03. The all plastic nuts can wear out and be pulled off the axle.

They may as well give them away because no one wants to buy them.

Everyone knows that white wheels are faster than yellow.

The exception to the rule being if your initials are "RC", of course.

Does it count that my initials are RC? First and middle name though and I think you are referring to someone else with first and last name!! LOL

I prefer white wheels anyway these days. Years ago when I was running Losi buggies I always used yellow wheels. I think nearly everyone did back then.

Changing the toe block changes the inboard toe. Increasing inboard toe in general provides more overall traction and makes the car more mechanically stiff. The downside of inboard toe is it can decrease cornerspeed.
Changing the outboard toe (hub carriers) is generally a mechanically softer change, and would be better suited for lots of sweeping corners. It also feels like a more subtle change.
The toe blocks also change the wheelbase of the car more than the hubs.
