|  Bully wheel bolts coming loose
How do you secure your wheel bolts? Mine is coming loose all the time... I think I have the V6 Bully Comp 2.2 axles with the bolt, not the nut.

I use the blue thread locker as well but I still have to tighten the bolt every pack or two.

 Better than the older axles with the nuts though. Even with nylon locking nuts, they would loosen up.I basically, swap batteries & check all the axle hardware (rear wheel nuts, front wheel screws).  That way I won't be accused of having a "Screw loose", at least, not on my rig.  | |

Some brands here is not blue but transparent for the removable thead lock. Do not use these as I found them to sieze sometimes. Rather get Locktite, 242, "Removable". I got the V6 rear axles. Now I cant go nuts but only have a "Screw loose"! | |

I found a combination that stays tight. Blue thread locker and wobble washers from true value. The washers look like regular flat washers that are bent.

Yup, I'm running Blue Locktite and lock washers. Haven't had a problem since I added the washers.

| Re: Bully wheel bolts coming loose
Mine are really bad on VP hubs. The hubs don't fit tight on the v6 hex so forward to reverse loses them so fast. I check them every course.
