Skid nuts?

[hommer75]

Has anyone found some skid nuts which work on the 550??
I fly off a flat surface quite often and I could use a bit more friction at spool up. I tried some nuts from my Trex but they are not thick enough. And all the other nuts I could get at the LHS were 8mm, whereas the 550 has 7mm skids.

Gaui sells part for these rubber nuts. It is kinda funny they don't include them in the kit.

Thanks for that, too bad I can't find any european shop that sells them. :(
Still looking for other alternatives...
