are Aspire rear axle nuts left & right threaded?

I obviously can't figure out the search feature here.

I'm putting together an axle for Thing 1 using parts from the teal parts car I had and it had an Aspire beam with what I assumed were modified Aspire axles (tail cut off) and modified Festy backing plates (hole elongated). I need the castle nuts and OReilly's doesn't list them.

Yes Larry the are left & right threaded

[Larry Hampton]

Does anyone know what thread they are?

[Larry Hampton]

Are they the same thread as a Festy but castle nut instead?

M16x1.5 IIRC

This is all that's holding me back from finishing my new rear axle beam.

[FestYboy]

yeah they are the same thread as the festy, only castleated. they could be as small as an M14x1.5.... but i dont think so.

Man that thing looks nice! I can wait until I get my aspire axle to look like that. But it will have to wait until I have money.

Again, that's an Aspire beam, Aspire axle stubs, modified Festy backing plates and new guts.

I figure if I ever do the Aspire swap, it'll just be backing plates and drums.
