Outcast Possible quality control issue with the backflip tires?

[Surchaufeur]

I never had this issue witht he stock copperhead 2 recently my notorious lost it wheel nut twice but the hex is still in a good shape. Now my kraton 6s somehow just stripped the hex compketly on the front left. Too much grip? Its only me or its a known issue with the 6s backflips?

Look what i found. The plastic mold are different near the hexes. 3 to me are in the right place and the other 5(one of those stripped) are in the wrong location helping strippage of the wheel hexes. The copperhead 2 do not have those molds on and its one solid plastic piece

When you think arrma cannot screw up even more they do not disappoint at doing so. I got send a full set to replace the horrible glue job on my noto 6s tires and nos the new set has stripped a wheel hex. I have been looking at wheel hexes to remplace mine. The hot racing ones for the 4s extender hubs have peaked my interest . Hot racing claims they fit the 6s wheel hexes and cost the same almos5 as the standard wheel nuts that come with the 6s cars.

if that fails again you may get a few more runs out of them with this fix.

Yep this is a known flaw on all BF and BLP wheels. You can always swap the wheels to another style, like the Kraton wheels, or any other 3.8 MT wheel.

Mine did the same but didnt mess hex up. Havnt had anymore issues since i dremmled the mold flaw on one wheel

Interesting but i think its too late in my case I lost 3 wheel nuts today even going back home at extremly low speed i lost a nut never found it worth a try. Im thinking filling the gaps with super glue on the other ones

Never had a hex problem. They just always come with no glue. Backflips and copperheads. One of my last copperheads had a 1 inch strip of glue on the inside
