|  Help..........! Stripping wheels like crazy!
Help! I have now stripped two wheels on the same side, same axle. I have tried, double wheel nuts, locktie, I do torque the wheel nuts. Not sure if I should change the hub. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

I like the Hot racing hubs and Serrated nuts. They also add width which I have noticed has reduced tipping. The nuts are wider and give better clamping plus they have the reinforced wheel rings which help support the wheel hub. I would also buy a good 17mm wrench. Before this I used similar wheel nuts that stopped loosening. The wheels that are stripped, just unglue them in the oven.  |

Can you post a close-up pic of the troublesome hub(s)?
