When racing outdoors last season with my buggy I somehow got the wheel jammed to the front hub and the wheel nut would not unscrew off, so the wheel is wedged on and will not be forced off I wonder if anyone else had this problem and how they sorted it.

Hi i also have this problem; the only way to sort is to apply a lot of pressure. To stop it happening in the future use either aluminium nuts of do a Losi axle conversion.

I can't apply a lot of pressure because the front wheel nut will not come off it just turns forever.

I know, what i meant was grab a pair of plyers and pull as hard as possible and turn. It will come off. However if you want to use the car afterward you will need:

U1715 FRONT AXLES - SACS-2(PR) £4.99
U1981 Pivot Pins and block set £ ?
U2212 Steering blocks £?

some new nuts too.
