Need you guys to walk my property. Probably about 10 wheel nuts in it. Never found one that fell off, and most are red so should stick out?

I had a front wheel come off last week while bashing Baja, wheel nut was still attached as was the hex, as I was on soft short grass decided to keep bashing and keep turning right (right wheel off). Was pulling wheelies full length of the field. Got home, fitted missing bearing and new E clip.
Z your not alone with wheels falling off

An back to my Baja, yesterday I got my parts in (2 days early ?) and installed em, didn't take many pics.
An went out for a run , take a look at this pipe?
No video. Did a bout 20 mins, till we had to head home for dinner.
Btw the stiffer springs did help stifen the rear up but I am going to need to up the oil thickness, Because it is a bit bounces in the ass end.

Another one bites the dust, POS didn't even last 2 runs.
Ran for about 30 mins today, motor was acting a bit funny too ? so I'm not sure what that was about, bogs like mad at about 3/5 throttle but cleans up at full throttle. Primer bulb is full and such. Maybe just tuning idk

poopy hostile spur. Feker melted ? if there was an air leak it would be lean, but it's acting super rich.Checked for leaks?
What broke?
Next time out I'll try tuning.

NOT ???
Think it's just too weak. Few small jumps and landed on throttle is what I think is causing it.

Save your money and buy a proper chassis brace. Just cause the steel wont strip don't mean something else wont give.
I've been around the bend a few times and I've never seen anyone thrash 2 hostile spurs. The cush pads within the gear mount should be enough to absorb a couple WOT landings, but you must be really trouncing it to cause that kind of damage.
And I'm with Sean here. You need to learn how to let off the throttle during jumps or you'll just destroy more poop. Watch real stadium truck racing. These guys are pushing massive HP and have stupid suspension and they still know to let off the throttle before they land. You can't escape physics.
Is the plastic from the spur melted all over the pinion?
