|  Wheel Nuts..... Solved
The most annoying issue I have had with the xl is loosing the locknuts and rounding out wheels. They were still coming off with blue and red loctite. Finally came up with an easy solution to end the madness....  |

They are M2.6 x 4mm cap screws that I had kicking around in my shop. If the nut backs off from this, I have bigger issues....

I have the HR hex adapters showing up today. Is this still a problem for these as well? Great job thinking up such a simple solution!

I am not sure about the HR adapters. I was going to go that route but thought I would give this a shot first after the Associated lock wheel nuts started to spin off.

I have had good luck adding a second 17mm nut to serve as a lock nut. haven't lost one since doing that.
