Can someone tell me what exact size of nut to get for xmod wheels. I see he has some on this one. I keep breaking the plastic ones off but have no clue as to what size metal to buy?

Um.. Look around for Mini-z or Xmod nuts.. I dont know there size, sorry!

You want 2mm nylock nuts... same size for xmods and mini z...
Hold off a bit before doing anything though, 219 had a bunch of sets he was letting go cheap... I can't get him to answer his cell right now, he must be at work... but I'm pretty sure he still has a few sets.

you can and they work but they will work themselves loose and fall off.
i recomend these type

the flanged shape holds xmod rims nice and snug.
backdrift, that's gonna be a smooth ride, and props on that pic too!

Good luck on the front arms. Also find a #2 nylon screw to insulate your antenna on that rear deck.

I think CJ can beat RC Mart as of now. I just wish he had had the driveshaft guides in stock when I ordered! BTW, I can still outrun you.
It's very sweet in all seriousness.

Im not using GPM decks, top cad's actully or i might swap out for a CXP one piece.. Which i dont know how that copes with the xmodsource cf chassis which is on its way.. And yeah viperdout, you will still win but mines more practical for everyday use! Its like have a drag car as an everyday driver, your brushless that is, compared to me having an economical civic
