LST2 wheels falling off

[jeresmith25]

I bought my LST2 about 3 weeks ago and I keep having problems with the freakin wheels falling off while its running. It will be going and all of a sudden I see a wheel rolling down the road and have to go search for the nut. I tighten them every now and then but they still keep falling off.

What can I do to keep them from falling off all the time?

If you don't allready use it, I would suggest you use some locktite. The blue stuff.

If that doesn't work, try some teflon tape made for pipes. A couple wraps on the threads and it should help keep the nut on.

I had the sam eproblem with mine .. i just cranked the nuts on really really tight to where i thought i was going to strip the hub and since then no problems ..the lock tite might be a little over kill but the teflon would work great .. but after i race mine i take he wheels off and store it in a trinity bag (it's to wide with the wheels on )
and when it's time to race or warm up .. slap them puppies back on just put some ass be hind it when screwing the nuts on

The shop couldnt realy tell me anything about them either. All they did was give me some extra bolts if I can't find it one time when the wheel falls off and they told me to tighten before every run.....kinda annoying.....

i put a small drop of locktite on the hub
