Couple of questions
 
I just bought ordered some Aluminium Wheel Nuts from RCButlers and was just curious if anyone else had dealt with them? I am always lerry of deelign with new places online but they had good shipping prices and the nuts I wanted. I suppose it is a little too late to inquire about whether they are a good site or not......:rolleyes:
Other question is about bearings. I mostly drive in the house and as such the wheels pick up a lot of dog hair. Would sealed bearings be better than open in my situation? Am debating which to buy. The ones on here look quite nice.

yeah you'd want shielded bearings for your running conditions unless you like cleaning your car.

Don't know much about them but you could have gotten them nuts from Tiny.

It doesn't matter what bearing you run. If you are running in and environment with lots of hair on the surface you WILL get hair wraped around you axles.

Judging by the site, I'm guessing these people are, well, new to the industry. Or at least not sanctioned professionals. In the past, I've always had a problem with my wheel nuts spinning off after a few minutes. Do they have some kind of plating or flux that prevents this?

the aluminum ones are nylocs and shouldnt spin off.
