I use a 4/40 lock.
First I thread them on the right way than I put it on backwards.

Yep, Sorry. I running the 1/8 axles
Hmm, I thought you can use the same nut on the 3/16 axle.
No?

Also, Associated sells 4 packs of them to fit the dif on dirt trucks and buggies. They're like $2.00 for 4. I hate using the nylon ones. The Associated ones are steel.

Yeah, I stand corrected. The 3/8 axles in my box use the 5/40

I bought some light weight aluminum lock nuts a couple of weeks ago in both sizes (5/40 and 4/40) from Bruce at RC4LESS. Pkg of 25 was $5.50. Same price either size. I never found them on his web site but gave him a call and got them.

Hey Tom, I got them up on the web site finally. (on the same page as the bearings) Was pleasently surprised to see several orders for the 5/40 version along with the tiny 4/40's. Lot of guys still like to run the 3/16 axle but most of them hate the plastic nuts. Glad yours worked out for you.

Take care,

Bruce
