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.

I usually just run them as is, but if they are really loose, I put a teflon washer between the inside bearing and the drive yoke. The tmaxx hexes have a small raised area that contacts with the inner part of the bearing. That will usually sandwich up tight when the wheel nut is tightened.
