I reattached and made extra sure to tighten the screws as tight as I could and ran the motor again and the two drive shafts became loose again.
The only thing I didn't do in this step was use the thread lock on the two lateral screws. Does that make that big of a difference here? And sorry if this is a rookie question or mistake, I'm pretty new to this!
Has anybody encountered this issue?
Thanks,
Jon
if you’re referring to the center drive shafts and where they mate to the gearboxes, and the lateral screw being the tiny set screw then yes you must use thread lock.
