loose wheel

[a dawg]

after i got done driving my revo the other day, i noticed that the left side rear tire wobbles. i checked all of the other tires to see if that was just how they were made, but they have a lot less play, and the movement that they do have is front to back, while the rear tire is up and down. the truck had a lot of tumbles because i was driving it on a hill, and everytime i would crash it would cartwheel down the hill. but anyways, do i have to worry about that wheel, it isn't that bad, but i don't want to keep using it like that if it is going to wreck the rest of the machine. i only have like 6 tanks through it. hardly broken in.

I know this sounds stupid, but that happens to my Revo and I just tighten the whhel nut. I could be misunderstanding your problem but that was mine.

Yup. Tighten the wheels nuts hard as it is impossible to overtight wheel nuts. One of the rear wheel on my revo loose because i did not check it when it was out of box.

they all are slightly loose, but i was worried about tightening them too tight in the front, because i though that it would make the servos work to hard., but okay, i'll get those snug in the morning, thanks guys.

Tighten them down until they stop. It will seem like you are over tightening them but you arent. The nut will bottom out on the threads. Loose wheels nutz problem will be gone.

Nice. I actually striped the stock wheel hex because of loose wheels. Now I have a titanium hex on and check it everytime before i run it.
