I think northy's suggestion that the wheels are rotating / moving on the hexes is a good call, as realistically, this is the only reason why they would come loose. Have you looked closely at the hexes in the wheels? You could also Try holding the two rear wheels, and say the front right, then try to rotate the front left anti clockwise and see if it does try to slip on the hex... Don't go mad and damage anything though.. Your looking at forces similar to braking.

I think that your car will become too wide for it to comply with brca regulations if you use those, as the serrated nuts with drive shafts dressed flush with the face is about the limit. ok for club or bashing...

these fit on my car and thred of the drive shaft is still showing, so that being a standard size shaft should be ok?? got me worried now |

The nuts I am using are 4.5mm wide and with both drive shafts ground flush with the face of these, it makes a pass in the BRCA box.. Camber adjustments can also help or hinder the width, but you want to be able to adjust this to suit the car, not the box. Measure up, you might be ok.

Question 1. The crunch spacer in your wheel. Is is a yellow alloy one or a black one? Question 2. Have you checked the bearings in the front wheel? If any is seized then your wheel will always come undone. This is the most likely cause. Might be worth giving your car a once over. All the team use stock parts. If the wheel is coming off and you have the steel crunch spacer in. There lies another issue which is almost 100% bearing related. Might be time to give your car a once over. Quote:

Having been the one that 'stripped' and rebuilt your diffs. Are you calling me a liar? Your bearings were completely shot.
Hmmm. Not exactly your most well thought out comment. We took plenty of pictures and info regarding your diffs and could post them on here. Wonder if you might see the sarcasm in that? However. As a professional company, we do our level best to help people who contact us directly. I'm pretty sure that everyone that has contacted us direct has been satisfied. I'm guessing your diffs work fine now as ther has been no posts. Forum's are a great place for getting tips and also banter. But for slagging off and slander. I'm not so sure. If you have an issue contact us we have 'social skills' and about 100 years of RC experience in the office. As much as I'm a fan of free speech, there is a limit. Be thoughtful of what you write, it might just come back and haunt you. Quote:

They are the alloy ones, and I rebuild the buggy after every two race meets. The bearings are ok and moving freely, everything else is as new. As per your next post I cant help but say the supplied bearings could be better.
I don't see this thread slanderous to Durango, it's clearly just some frustration at wheel nuts falling off no direct comment. Secondly the thread was to start a good bit of banter but people take their toys far to seriously, it's just buggy racing Quote:

Your kit must be an old one as these were discontinued in kits about a year ago. They are now replaced with: http://www.team-durango.com/part-inf...artNo=TD310032 & http://www.team-durango.com/part-inf...artNo=TD714001 for the rear. I'd advise you to put these in. Your alloy spacer will not be doing the job it should. It will have become crushed and not be supporting the bearings anymore.

To double check these are the parts that go through the middle of the bearings?

I've rebuilt the 4 driveshafts this morning and it appears the driveshaft pins were worn causing excess movement / vibrations causing the wheels nuts to come loose. Can't be the wheel nuts as had brand new core rc nuts on last night and twice the wheels came off.

I snapped a rear pin and the wheel fell off straight away. That's the only time it's ever happened.
