to much torque ??

[BrianG]

I've never had any problems with stripped hexes, even with BL power. Usually, the left side will strip first because the way the tire rotates can loosen the nut. And once there is any strippage from a loose nut, it's only a matter of time before they all go bad. Even with a locknut, I use lock-tite on the axle treads, especially on the left side.

If it's not a nut tightness issue, I wonder what is actually stripping; the nut itself, or the rim plastic flexing?

lol, this is an old thread!
