I need a lock nut??

[PaRedneckRiders]

What should i go with??

My stock one has the treads stripped at the end so it wont tighten up like it should be so i need a new one.

Should i just get another stock one or what??

Theres tons of different ones on ebay and i had my eyes on one of the mod quad ones ill post a link.
Anyway does that require me to use the stock inside piece of my locknut??

I did buy an antifade one but it end up being for a 450r so i sold it bought it for 25 sold it for 30 so about broke even after shipping.

If anyone has a decent used lock nut PM me mayb ill take it off your hands for you.

Also i need one that will work with my axle(g-force), i thought all were universal but im not sure.

I still have the stock one, but ive heard good things about the rad axle nut.

does it screw on like the stock one and does it require me to use the stock inside piece because i think thats what stripped out on mine.

I use the durablue locknut with the set screw. Hasn't loosened up once yet, been on almost 2 years. Also, I kept the stock locknut set-up and basically use it as a big shim to help with the take up on the locknut set up ( I cut the threaded spacer and left the nut attached to the threaded spacer) . To get the axle locked down tight I needed more travel than what was available with the stocker. This set-up has worked really well for me since I've had no issues with the carrier or axle being loose now. I had the same issue of axle nut loosing up with the stock axle & durablue axle. When I bought my g-force and installed the new carrier bearing and axle I noticed how with almost all the threads out the nut was just starting to tighten. This is why I decided to cut the stocker and add the durablue locknut. Hope this helps since everyone seems to have issues now and then with the stock axle locknut set-up. Matt

You have any pics of your set up, it sounds interesting. Would like to see it.

anyone else have some input on a good locknut that wont cost a small fortune haha.

I would be wary of the lesser known companies when it comes locknuts. I've seen alot of them strip out very easily, without much torque. Personally, I would buy another stock setup. They are a dime-a-dozen and once wrapped in electrical tape, they will never come loose. It would save you quite a bit of money.

Cant upload the pic for whatever reason, probably too big, can email you the pic if you send me a pm with an address. It's just the stock nut spun on the splined, threaded set-up. I cut the threaded spacer flush with the jam nut and use that as a shim between the Dura-blue locknut and the caliper. Locks the axle nice and tight and gives you plenty of thread to work with. That's why I feel the stock set-up should be longer, my end thread was shot due to the jam nuts being so far out and only grabbing 1 to 1 1/2 threads to lock down the carrier. Matt
