ok
 

Sorry, on the Team Orion RS4 lug nuts, the colored ones the nut driver size is 4.5mm.

Good luck finding one though. I had to buy a 1/4" nut driver and a 4.5mm Matco socket....Snap-On also sells these, about $8-15 though each.

i sure wouldn't mind a set of metal lugs right now. A friend and I were racing, and I didn't realize, but one of the lugs on the wheels was completely stripped. Mid-driving on a sharp turn my wheel rolledo off, LoL.

Same here, except I had two lug nuts stripped so when I was just driving in the garage the front left and rear right wheels just flew off. Luckily my wheels are painted white so I was able to find them easily :p Currently I'm just using some tech deck grind pegs until I save up some money for alloy lug nuts...

How tight are you putting them? The socket would probably be enough. Where can I find small 2mm sockets?

Not that tight but they are Nylon lock nuts, so you cannot remove them with your fingers.

And you cannot put them on with your fingers.
Non-locknuts on a 6 cell or more(motor other than a 130, etc.)
will spin the nuts off and sling them right off the axle.

FYI All, we'll soon be offering TRC Lock Nuts, as well as Wrenches! :cool:

I found a cheap 4.5mm nut driver at Tower. Hobbico makes it, and it is only $2.99. I can say that it is much nicer than you'd expect for the price, with a comfortable rubberized handle.

The one thing I have noticed about buying these nut drivers is that you need to have a bench grinder handy, as the driver is too thick to fit in a deep-dish wheel. With stock XMods wheels, it may work as it is, but with Mini-Zs, I had to grind down the outside a bit so it would fit in the wheel. Not a big problem for me, it only took about five minutes to do, but if you don't have a bench grinder or have access to one, then you may have a problem.

If the TRC wrenches address the issue I just mentioned, it would be great. Just make sure they work with Mini-z wheels and you'll be able to sell them to both crowds... :D

hmmm.....
 

Interesting about the driver not fitting.

Actualy I already had a 1/4" nut driver in my toolbox I never use, a craftsman one that came with something along time ago.

Also my one neighboring technician had a 4.5mm deep well Matco 1/4" socket.
He said "Here, I will never use that size. Have it." So I lucked out.

But I did look at prices and see who on the trucks had them in a shallow well, but the deep works great for free so I said I only need a deep really.:D

the first thing i did was run down into my dads workshop and i stole(borrowed) 4 aluminum nuts they work great. i hate the "nylon" lugs they strip to easy and crack.
