rustler srtipped wheel

[Kevin_366]

this may seem like a stupid question. a few minutes ago i was ramping my stock rustler and i did a cartwheel. after i flipped it back over and started running again, i noticed that the lrft fromt wheel was wobbling. i tried to take it off but the nut just kept spinning. now that it is stripped how do i take it off????

what i do when that happens to me is i just get some of pliers and hold the axil still from the inside (opposite from the nut) and take off the nut. it dose that because you lost the "stub axil pin" and if your wheel is
wobbling you most likely bent the axil. all in all it well set you back like $5.00 (if that)

the nut is stripped. (it is not tight) that is y the wheel is wobbling. when i try to get it off the nut, it just keeps spinning on the metal axle. right now, even if i got the spare part, i could not get off the nut to replace it.

thank-you for your reply, i finally got it off by taking the arms off and using a wrench, socket and some strenth to get it off. You were right paxil, i am missing a pin and is is not stripped like i "thought" it was.... so i will order some new ones soon. thank-you again.

The bushings are the donut shaped pieces of metal that the axle passes through.
