I thought that too at one point......then i was 5 min away from winning a local race to only have my rear end loose all power due to the pin being ejected through the GMK condom NOT the thinner losi version...i now ensure the screw and pin are loctited in place and aren't goin anywhere....only if the pin were carptured like the Xray or similar to how the wheel bearing's capture the pins would that work with no worries.
