If they Monster slics are to big look at the buggy slicks. They also make buggy size belted street tires, not slicks.

Yes, I saw those as well but I have to say, just got back from trying out the Sweep Slick 55 and I had a blast. No ESC overheating, a good degree of drifting until they warmed up a bit, much easier to drive.

Meanwhile I lost a wheel because the nuts are not right and the nylon part does not reach so they come loose easily. I'm waiting for the HPI nuts and hopefully they'll work better otherwise I'll need different CVDs.

I took an on board video which I'm hoping to find the time to edit.

You can spin those nuts and put the nylon part on first. If it's a flanged nut just use a washer for the flange. Also, loctite is your friend

Not a bad idea at all but it turns out that the flanged nuts I was using were just too big. I switched to the same M5 I had before and put a little washer instead. Now I have no problem...well not that problem anyway...

Must find a large parking lot with no cars...
