FAQs
What size hex is required for these wheel nuts?
These are 24mm aluminum wheel nuts, designed for vehicles with a 24mm wheel hex hub.
How many wheel nuts are included in a pack?
Each pack contains four (4) aluminum wheel nuts.
Are these nuts compatible with all Arrma models?
They are designed for specific Arrma models that use a 24mm hex hub, such as the Kraton 8S. Always confirm your model's specifications.
Can I use a standard socket wrench to install them?
Yes, a standard socket wrench (typically 17mm for the outside hex) is used for installation. Ensure the socket fits snugly.
What is the main advantage of aluminum over plastic wheel nuts?
Aluminum offers superior strength, durability, and a more secure fit, especially under high stress, while also being lighter than many steel alternatives.
How should I clean these aluminum wheel nuts?
Clean with a soft brush or compressed air. For dirtier nuts, use a mild degreaser and rinse with water, then dry thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Wheel nut feels loose after tightening
Ensure the wheel stud is not damaged. Re-thread the nut carefully, ensuring it engages properly. Tighten with a wrench, but avoid excessive force. Consider using a thread-locking compound if the issue persists and is permitted by the vehicle's manual.
Wheel nut is difficult to thread on
Check the wheel stud for any damage or debris. Clean both the stud and the inside of the nut. Try threading by hand first to ensure proper alignment. Never force a difficult-to-thread nut.
Stripped threads on wheel nut
If threads are stripped due to overtightening, the nut will need to be replaced. Inspect the wheel stud for damage as well. Replace both the nut and check the stud if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These 24mm wheel nuts are specifically designed for Arrma vehicles that utilize a 24mm hex hub, such as the Kraton 8S. Always verify your vehicle's specifications to ensure correct fitment.
Setup: Installation is straightforward. Ensure the wheel hub on your vehicle is clean. Thread the wheel nut onto the wheel stud by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once snug, use a suitable socket wrench (typically 17mm for most Arrma vehicles) to tighten the nut securely. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads on the stud or the nut.
Care: After use, especially in dusty or wet conditions, clean the wheel nuts with a soft brush or compressed air to remove debris. A mild degreaser can be used for stubborn dirt, followed by a rinse with water and thorough drying. Periodically check the nuts for any signs of wear or damage, and replace if necessary.
