That's what i thought at first but no, i just didn't have the lock nut on all the way.

Hahahhaha! Well that's a relief! Just hope it doesn't happen on the street some day. You'll never find the nut, and, depending on how fast you're going when it happens, you wont find the wheel either.

I think I'm going to add this on Gee's tips thread:

"Ensure tire locknuts are tight prior to operating your vehicle" .

[What's_nitro?]

Oddly enough, it's a great tip.

yea, when i drove my t-maxx 4 years ago (before the car came with lock nuts) i had a tire to fly off and it went flying down my nabors backyeard downhill and into the woods. it took me forever to find the stupid thing and i never did find the nut

Congrats! Looks like the table got the the worst of that one ;)

haha thanks! I'm about to go take the nuts off and put them back on with threadlocker

And idk how well it's working now, i just got it done and it's dark outside But tomarrow we should get some better video and see how everything does!

So far i've been taking it easy running it but temps have been just a little above room temperature with the hottest temp being 86 lol

sweet dude. Sooner or later, lock nuts arnt gonna do it for ya. Your gonna have to get a better looking, better endurance, and bigger things to fit your need....things being rims......17mm is the way to go
