Worthless. The fact they're not serrated makes them worthless, they just rattle loose. Two wheels off in a single day, with the torque on the wheel nuts checked after the first off. How do you make a wheel nut that is NOT serrated??
I bought two sets. They look great, but unfortunately one of the wheel nuts came loose while driving. The wheel flew off toward nearby people, and the RC car kept moving without the wheel, which damaged the steering knuckle. The only way I found to prevent the wheel nuts from coming loose is to tighten them extremely hard. When they are tightened that much, they stay secure, but I'm worried this could put too much stress on the wheel bearings. Overall, they look good, but because of this issue I'm only giving them 3 stars.
A perfect in my Arrma Felony. Im about 75% aluminum.
Just love the HR parts are one of the best for ur rc for sure coming from a 9 rcs owner
These solid wheel nuts cover up and protect the threads on my 17mm hex adapters from getting scratched up and ruined.
Reviews are mixed. Two reviewers report wheel nuts loosening during driving, with one describing a wheel coming off and damaging a steering knuckle, and one saying the nuts stayed secure only after being tightened very hard, which they worried could stress the wheel bearings. A third reviewer says the nuts loosened quickly, attributing this to the lack of serrations. Two reviewers are positive, praising the fit and appearance and noting the nuts protect the hex adapter threads from scratches. The loosening issue is the recurring problem across the critical reviews.
