These should be available towards the end of January. I would like to  think that the testers were pleasantly surprised by their performance  compared with other similar products on the market.

Fully enclosed wheel nuts (aka Monkey Nutz) made from a unique blend of engineering grade polymers with added impact modifiers. These are designed to absorb impacts rather than transfer impact energy through the hubs (damaging threads). This reduction of impact energy also prolongs the life of your hub carriers, and reduces fatigue of the hub carrier bearings. Price will be in the region of £2.50 each and £8 for a set of 4.

Losi 5ive-T threaded versions will be also available shortly after.
