You need to start with clean, grease free screws and screw holes. I use a shot of motor spray (alcohol will work too) to clean the screws and holes before applying loctite. Use a cleaner that is evaporating so it doesn't interfere with the loctite curing. Loctite needs some time to set also - don't apply and expect it to cure instantly, it doesn't. Depending on temp, it needs a few to several hrs. I usually try to let mine cure overnite, that way I'm sure its set.
I use Tony's Screw kits - 1st thing I do to a new RC, replace everything with high strength alloy steel hex heads. Tony also sells individual screws.
I can't believe it took 4 posts till somebody said "blue loctite"
All you need as Duster said is some loctite. Takes very little and you'll never have the issue again. You should ALWAYS use blue loctite on ANY metal to metal connection on the chassis.
