LET IT DRY !!

[RELIC1]

Well on the third try I took out the grub screw on my 24t pinion gear , because it kept coming out a little bit and the gear would move back n forth , this time I put the locktight on the screw and let it dry for 4 hours while I did other things , I just put 2 sets of batteries through it and it's holding great , checked it a few times , looks like I got it , I use blue locktight , it's more forgiving , but I was almost there with the red, if this didn't work , hot racing hubbs n steering blocks are doing great so far also

Locktite needs 24hrs to dry...

Clean the set screws and the threads in the pinion with alcohol. Use Pro Seal 27106 red threadlocker. Let it dry for 24hrs.

Well it's holding , but ya , on that 24 hours , guys were headed up to to our track , what can I say me an k8 we're going DANGIT !

Common mistake is interrupting the set time. 4h into it you potentially destroy the loctite and prevent a proper seating. Similar to epoxy setting and mucking around during the set time.
Good luck on it holding, I earned my lesson and now I leave it alone for 24h.
Cleaning etc is a must as well.

But this is third try. I'm guessing attempts 1 and 2 were driven immediately. Do it once, do it right.

Are you running stock electronics?

 

[RELIC1]

I'd like to answer to everything but I'm to busy making my world perfect , with freeegn locktite , drove it again today still good , not that I don't agree or anything , wouldn't wanna start any fires ! ???

Also for your stock motor use tekno pinions. They come with fat grub screw.

 

[RELIC1]

Thank you for that ! That darn screw ! Fine line between getting it tight enuff and stripping it , good tip ! , Got a part # ? For a 24t by any chance

Get a good tool, stripping is only due to tools. MIP or Wera are recommended, everything else will strip stuff over time.
