Hi,
just thought I'd ask your opinions and give mine on the loctite Arrma use. I have seen loads of threads where people are quoting colours and saying don't use red etc but I'm sure they don't realise the different number of loctites on the same colours and its the number that is important to the application.
I have been replacing the bearings on my Kraton and its ridiculous the amount of heat need to undo M4 screws that are put together with 243 medium strength loctite. Even loctite themselves say this is for threads larger than 1/4" diameter and to put it on these buggies with 2, 2.5 and 3mm allen head screws is madness. I've rebuild my buggy and used loctite 222 which is what we use in aircraft cabins, on seats and monuments subject to high vibration. I know they wont loosen off unless i undo them and at least I can undo the screws without the need to resort to heat and potentially ruining the heads or having to drill one out as I had to do with the servo saver this time.
Do any of you guys have any experience using loctite other than RC and what are your opinions?
