Default mil stone wideners using rc4wd wagon wheels?

Has anyone done this? I just spent probably ten minutes trying to get the wheel nuts on lol. Not sure if I can find a smaller headed barrel nut but I’m thinking these won’t work...

The plastic wrench used for Mini Z's is thin enough to grab and tighten them down inbetween the lugs where it gets caught up. I randomly tried one I had and it worked when no other tool I tried would. Thats how I got my milstones on my RC4WD blackjack.

Thats how I got mine on. Mini Z wrench is shown at dead top of this picture.

Yeah I got lucky! I spent almost 40 minutes trying all kinds of tools until I found that at the bottom of my RC junk drawer.

But it can be done. I just used some lock tight on them so they wouldnt come loose. They seemed to do that over a few packs until I did that.

Good luck man.

I used needle nose pliers for 30 minutes. It was a huge pita.

That’s what I did for one of them and said forget it. I found a cheap set of small drivers I’m going to see if they work today. They look possibly small enough to clear.

They look good, but boy do they suck to tighten.

These are what I found on eBay. I did have to sand the end but now it fits super nice. Not sure I’ll ever need any of the others but I have them now Incase
