Screws keep wiggling out?
Hey guys,
So the screws that attch the motor to the mount on my losi 8ight keep wiggling themselves loose after about 45 minutes of runtime and I am using blue losi loctite. Seeing as I wont really need to take my motor off my mount can I use some tire glue just to make sure they stay, what other suggestions do you guys have?

to clean all I need to do is remove the mount not the engine. I will try the locking washers and then I will try red lock tite I guess but wont ca glue do the same thing as the red lock tite?

i use both locktight and lock washers, i do it the night before running and it will be good. never had issues. if i use the locktight then try running it, the screw almost always backs out. you need to give it time to cure.

I gave it a whole night but I will try once more. If it doesnt work will ca glue do the job just as well as red lock tite?
