Haven't used them my concern is that the wheel stud will bottom out before you can tighten them completely since they're not an open nut.

Could give these a try:
https://www.amainhobbies.com/axial-8x20x3mm-m5-locking-wheel-washer-4-axi31087/p413178
I ran them on something of mine with savage like hubs... can't recall if it was one of my revos or one of my savages. I think I ran them on my savage flux before I changed to some other modified hubs. They only caught 3-4 threads, but they held up better than the HPI ones you find these days.
The one on the far left is an old HPI flange nut. The 3 on the right are the ones you find now with the same part # as the old ones. I broke quite a few as I used them on all 3 of my revos and my 2 savages. The flange part was so thin, that it just bends/rips off entirely. Which is why I tried the axial ones.

I have been running the axial nuts on my savage cd v2 ( 6s LiPo ) and they have been brilliant. Don't have to worry about them coming loose anymore

This thread cost me about 12 hours of my life... I was attempting to edit an old photo of mine where I had the axial on the front and hpi on the rear. I was editing the photo to move the tires close to each other so the photo wasn't so wide. Copy/pasting a large chunk of it locked up my pc... in the end, my primary SSD failed and the boot sector is trashed.
So... here's the stupid photo. lol!

@olds97_lss Nothing is quite as satisfying as wasting 12 hour of your life to never get back,
