Do you guys use loc tite on the servo horn screw? I was thinking medium loc tite. Mine is coming loose constantly. I have found out real quick the screws on these come loose quite often? Oh, and what about the screws on the motor? Mine seem to come loose on their also.

No you need a Cap head screw i done did the Blue Locktight with a button head screw and washer the mesh still moves everytime after running, even if tighten good.

The motor adjustment screw doesn't come loose. It is the screws that mount the motor to the motor plate. The adjustment screw has already been modified.

What bodies do you guys recommend? I currently have the losi stock body, althought it's nice, I'd like to know of more options. Durability for me is key, as shape and look aren't really a big deal.

It's holding up okay. The previous owner chopped off the nerf bars and I usually add some velcro on those and the body to help support the middle of the body. This helps keep the body around longer along with strategically placed shoe goo at the stress concentration points.

I have run my scte 8 times on my local track and already have a bent a rear bent shock tower.....geeeesh....i thought this stock aluminum tower will last a bit longer. Forced me to by the CF rear tower. Besides that i have put this truck through HELL and its a champ....nothing broken and the pro4 pushes it around the track with authority.
