Wondered if anyone else is experiencing this ... with my Kyosho RB-5 buggy, the Hitec 5645MG servo screw holding the horn backs out slightly after each race causing steering slop. Loctite would not seem an option as this a metal to metal solution and CA seems too permanent. Is the screw the problem or is the steering design of the buggy causing some strange torque phenomenon ? Just curious if anyone else has seen this in their car, buggy or not. Thanks.

Loctite is made for metal to metal contact locking.

I would try using some of that. Just a tiny bit on the threads though.

Also, don't be afraid to get it cranked down and tigtened.

Use either a drop of blue loctite on teh screw or a dab of shoe goo on it. Either method works great.
