Got Nuts?

Post by FasterLouder »

I went and slapped an HPI 'Cuda shell on my XXX-S G+,so I can use the super wide 32mm,10mm offset rear and 28mm,4mm offeset Kawada VX rims I had layin' around.
As you can see,the Losi 8/32 wheel nuts are a tight fit! :shock:
Does anyone have a part number,or know of some off the shelf nuts with a smaller outer diameter?
Tightening the last few threads of wheel nuts is getting old and I don't want to scuff up my rims...
Gotta say that the Kawada D2 drift tires are awesome,even with 10x2 Reedy motor! :D
And it looks real evil sliding sideways on full opposite lock! :mrgreen:

What a sweet looking car! I had to look close at that first shot to determine I wasn't looking at the real thing. Can't help with the nuts though.

That looks fantastic!! The only thing I can suggest, that I found that the Losi nut driver wrenches seem to have a much slimmer socket, and can fit into tighter rims. I had that problem with some proline wheels for my desert truck. A standard socket would not fit in the rim, but the Losi wrench fit just fine.

I'm not sure you'll be able to find a nut for a #8-32 screw much smaller than 11/32", I'm not sure what the size is now.

One option would be to buy a couple of standoffs, so that the nutdriver doesn't need to extend into the wheel as much, something from this link, basically, a 'tall' 1/4" nut:
