That's what i thought at first but no, i just didn't have the lock nut on all the way.:lol:

What's_nitro? 01.01.2009 10:54 PM

Hahahhaha! :rofl: Well that's a relief! Just hope it doesn't happen on the street some day. You'll never find the nut, and, depending on how fast you're going when it happens, you wont find the wheel either. :oh:

George16 01.01.2009 11:24 PM

I think I'm going to add this on Gee's tips thread:

"Ensure tire locknuts are tight prior to operating your vehicle" :rofl::rofl:.

What's_nitro? 01.02.2009 12:22 AM

:rofl: Oddly enough, it's a great tip.

yea, when i drove my t-maxx 4 years ago (before the car came with lock nuts) i had a tire to fly off and it went flying down my nabors backyeard downhill and into the woods. it took me forever to find the stupid thing and i never did find the nut

And idk how well it's working now, i just got it done and it's dark outside :no: But tomarrow we should get some better video and see how everything does!

So far i've been taking it easy running it but temps have been just a little above room temperature with the hottest temp being 86 lol

My temps have been very low but that's becouse i've only gotten half a charge threw it at a single time and i've only driven it at night so far so i haven't been able to really open it up for a wile yet.
