locking nuts (damb cheap plastic)

[kenney]

ok for any one that this might help who don't know this if you have the stage 2 motor and are runnin on anything but alkaline GET METAL LOCK NUTS. I have 4 cars all stage 2 9 tooth and on every car every time i drive them i break one to two nuts every damb time i use them. espisally my supra (awd,stage2 9 metal bearings) today split 3 nuts right in half all at once Ever try drivin with one wheel on ur car? lol metal lugs are they way to go!!!!!

[torredo]

i bought alloy locknuts right after i broke my 3rd one.

[kenney]

well i don't even have any yet so i am stuck with the plastic for now but i might go to the hardware to see if i can get some cheap . instead of odering them i got 8 plastic ones left for now but the way i am breakin them i will need the metal ones soon. I break at least 4 a day

[lilskipro587]

i dont no if im lucky or wat but i have never ever broken a stock one. i was running lithiums in my gen one WITH a stage 2 and they were fine. you just have to be gentle with them and make sure they go on straight

[kenney]

i find when i power slide they crack then snap right in half u r lucky not to of broken any...................................... YET!!

[pittbull988]

I ordered some 2 days ago when i broke one of the off road tires for my f150. the nut broke and the tire just kept rollin on down the street right into the sewer drain... had to go buy a whole new offroad upgrade set for one **** tire.

[kenney]

ouch that is rough i guess i am lucky to have been inside and my wheels just rolled around on the floor sorry about your loss!! lol lol

I lost a metal lock nut last week. I was drag racing my Supra outside, car hit top speed, and the right rear tire flew off as it passed me. The plastic lock ring inside the nut will wear over time with repetitive installing/removal. I lost the nut, and the outer ball bearing was launched out as well. So check your nuts gang.

good luck finding them that small in a hardware store. I have some cheap ones i can hook you up with for like a buck, just PM me.

[pittbull988]

get them from ur local rs and i think there a tut on here for them all u need is some tpe and the work just fine

[Monster180]

i was running my 350Z outside and one snaped, the car flipped, and it took me 30 minutes to find the wheel. have no idea what happened to the barrings

i found some metal ny-locks at hobbytown USA and they are a perfect fit! work with the lug wrench too. only $4 for 4

[punishment]

Only

oh, yeah and as mentioned above. CHECK YOUR NUTS....... LOL!

[torredo]

Buy them from XMF, they are cheap and are a nylon locknut...

last time i looked....my nuts were there!! lmao

[lilskipro587]

i got mine from mini-z racer for cheap

[ravevolution]

I have been fortuante not to lose/break any nuts from racing, and there is a speed bump out on the front of my home so I do all sorts of crazy jumps from it.

I only broke them when changing my tires. But those things are trash anyways, thats why they give a bunch when ya buy a tire upgrade. Definatly get the metal ones.

I got a set silver and black metal nuts for free. I usually take a small piece of tape to keep the nuts from coming off.

[lilskipro587]

my nuts are still on my spindle! i dont have em on my xmod but on my mini-z monster i do. they rock

[kenney]

tape on them ??? where do you put it just around the out sid eof the nut ( does it hurt when u take it off) ha ha ha !!!

[pittbull988]

haha nope dosent hurt at all kenney just put a small strip of tape over he meatl piece of the axle after u put the wheel on and then screw the nut on top of it
