Took the Outcast for a bash last weekend and straight up it was having issues popping wheelies. Gave the car the once over and found that the left rear hex in the wheel had chewed itself pretty much out. Was able to get a run in by tightening the wheel nut to 2 gorilla grunts and finished off a couple of batteries with no further issue. I suspect is was caused by the nut loosening off a bit. Lesson learnt, will always check the nuts before a run and have lined up some spare 17mm hex tools for the bashing box.
Went home and ordered a pair of new wheels/tyres that arrived today. I took a look at the hex set up and it looks pretty weak. Was thinking about filling in the 6 cavities behind the hex with superglue to try and give some extra strength. Comparing the 2 new wheels, the hexes appear to be glued/bonded in they are not orientated the same.
Anyone have a better solution?
