Default help with axle nuts on Blaster

Does anyone have a way to keep the axle nuts from loosening up on a blaster. My younger brother rides one and we have to stop about every hour to tighten them back up

Thanks for the tips. I did tighten the heck out of them with a two foot adjustable wrench to the point that I thought I would damage the threads. I'll do it again and try the locktight this time. Thanks again

Blue is the weakest....if you need to you can go to Red....that stuff is pretty serious, STAY AWAY from the green! (bearing and sleeve retainer) it is liquid weld! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
