The new E maxx wheels nuts have the teflon ring for self locking, but they also have a grip surface where it contacts the rim. This should work better.

The old nuts kept backing off, so now I'm putting Blue Loctite on the axle threads before I put the wheel on. If this doesn't work, I'll use the Green Loctite. There's alot of pressure on these.

I noticed there's about .5mm of play between the hex and the bearing race. Do you ever shim your wheels to take all the play out?

I'm thinking about it.
