Proline Hex Adapter

[Monkey Wrench]

Hello Again!

Hopefully a quick question for all of you! I just installed the Proline hex adapters for my Revo. While running the truck over the weekend, I noticed that a couple of the wheels were wobbling and had to retighten the large nut to tighten the adapter into the wheel itself. Ran it a few more times and it kept happening. Is it alright to use locktite on the adapter? There's nothing on the Proline site indicating a yes or no, but before I did so, wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem and has an idea on a fix.

Thanks!

try plumbers thread tape...works great and it won't seize up on you

Mine wobbled even when the nut was tight. I read somewhere on here you need to put the washers behind the axle pin to take up the slop. I ended up putting 4 at each corner and it seems pretty solid now.

And .... YES, you can use BLUE loc-tite on the big nuts.

I use locktight on my savage and my buggy. I don't see any reason why not. Just don't over do it.
