Hey all just liking to know. The wheel nuts on my RC are spinning with the direction of the wheels. Would it not make sense to have then spin in the opposite direction so that they are always tighting into the rims. This would also present the loosing of the wheel nuts and stripping out the rim hexes. This is just an observation I noticed and did any one change them around to see if it made a difference, seeing it's just moving each wheel shaft from one side to the other.

Thanx

on the savage the wheel nuts are designed so that the wheel doesn't loosen the nut....the left side is counter threaded for that exact reason/ I have stripped my wheel also tho, make sure all wheel nuts are tight before EVERY run.
 
And little locktite doesn't hurt either. Yeah I know they are locknuts but it helps all the same.
