Arrma vorteks keeps loosing front wheels

[NurturantQuasar]

Front wheels keep loosening. I’ve tried everything. Today actually just a couple minutes ago I was driving it in my neighborhood street and I was pulling a wheelie full throttle down the street and it all of a sudden threw the front left wheel all the way down the street super far and into someone’s yard luckily not harming anyone or anything. I’m gonna buy the aluminum 12mm wheel hex, new wheels and lock tight the wheel hex grub screws and hopefully that will fix it. Anyone else have this problem? I’ve constantly been battling the front wheels as the grub screw in the wheel hexes slowly loosens itself.

well i don't have a Vorteks but a lot of cars have this problem like you said Locktite can help also make sure there's nothing vibrating like the front driveshafts or diff i don't know if the vorteks has enough thread on the spindle for this but if it does you can try putting 2 wheel nuts on each spindle instead of just 1 hope this helps

You're saying both front wheels are doing this, and not just the left wheel?

Yup idk why I fixed the rear axles and wheels and they no longer come loose. I fixed the camber links on front as one side had way mor camber than the other. I’ve done everything but the front wheels like to looses and it’s cause the grub screw that holds on the wheel hex likes to loosen up. I’m thinking it must be the 100+ degree heat where I live causing it so I’m buying aluminum wheel hex replacements to hopefully fix it. And I’m gonna lock tight the grub screw on. 100 plus degree heat is brutal my steering servo is literally melting the plastic it’s mounted to because the extreme heat. The tires get extremely hot on asphalt so I was hoping to find a sticky road tire to use instead of the off-road tires it comes with.

Some blue loctite on the wheel nuts should stop that issue. Its a common occurrence without loctite.
