Got a new Senton 3S BLX 2 weeks ago and have been running in my backyard in low-cut grass with a track we configured. I also made two small jumps about 6-in and 8-in off the ground out of plywood. Really nothing extreme that would beat these trucks up. We do about 90% left turns on the track plus a small oval setup with left turns. The question is has anyone had their tires fall off with the wheel hub still attached? My truck and a friend of mine who also got one recently had the same thing happen. Both of our right rear tires disconnected from the drive shaft. Nothing broke but the screw holding on the wheel hub came free. Nothing was stripped or damaged. Real easy to reassemble but did notice nothing holding it on like thread locker. We both did apply thread locker when we reinstalled and haven't had it happen again. Ironically the next day my right rear tire completely shredded itself. It didn't come unglued but completely tore apart. So is this the obvious physics lesson with the torque, vibration and RPMs with the left turns ? Should we just thread lock the other wheel hubs ? Anyone have this issue as well ? Thoughts and opinions ?
