Axle nut options

[Markblaster]

Hi all. Just got my RPM Dominator II Racing Axle. and looking into the axle lock nut. At the moment I have the stock 2 nuts but looking into upgrading them. What have people used or recommend or is the stock nuts the best option?

Also is the thread m33 x 1.5 ? and is this the same for all axles?

Thanks

NO.

NO.

I have a tusk/g-force axle, it requires it's own style locking nut that has a clip/groove that it pushes against.
I see them on ebay listed alone, but it won't work unless your axle has the groove for the spring clip ?

these look to be for a stock axle threads, if thats what your RPM has ?

Nice looking nut you have there. Will check thread tonight.

Email from RPM.

The thread for the axle lock nut is 32.5 millimeters x 1.5 . We do
not have those lock nuts in stock. Yes, after market ones will work any
factory ones will work.

 

[jbuckster07]

for the price of the axle, should send a lock nut too...Thats BS in my opinion.

 

[Markblaster]

Yeah I know.

Might be a good question, but how do you set pre-load on bearing? Seeing as you can't use torque wrench?

Stock, Tuck, Durablue, Duncan are about to be use with a wrench

Not sure how you would go about doing it on the type with the rod you put in a hole to do it up. Like this one.
