I have had both the wheels and tires go flying off. It sucks. Once I got the tire glue stuff though the tires have stayed put, but just today a wheel flew off.

Yep yep...otherwise your car is gonna do several cartwheels and rolls...not like I've experienced that or anything...

Soft tires pwned my Black RSX and the crash messed up the steering...so please glue your tires. Or if you would rather not use glue then double sided tape does the job (unless you go REALLY fast and turn REALLY sharp) you have to replace the old pieces often though otherwise it looses its stick.

ive never had any tires fly off yet, but my friend was running a Kyosho X Speed motor with the Mini z external turbo and everytime he turned a corner, a tire or two would fly off, he switched to using the "foamies" and it solved everything!!!

And yeah the plastic nuts are crap...I had over 70 of those thing and I'm down to...well...zero. But I think he was mostly talking about the tire itself coming off...

Now THAT is the annoying part. Especially if it's a little bit dark out.
