Typhon Use two set screws on motor?

[Armarookie43]

I never realized that I could use two set screws on the motor of the 6s Typhon and other 6s trucks. So use the extra one? Or just one?

I just use one and it works just fine?‍

Yeah, they keep (I only use one) coming loose on me but it's because I'm using blue loctite. I think that's my issue. Thanks.

Hm weird... I use blue loctite as well ?

Yeah, it's probably just bad luck then. I'll try again. I'll put more back into it this time.

Mine come loose all the time. Loctite and all. I've never had this issue before. Lol

Maybe I'll try two then? Do you only use one?

Yea because the other one flew out.

Clean the pinion and grub screw with brake cleaner then apply a small dab of blue 243 thread lock to the grub screw. Allow 24 hours to cure.

Mine come loose if I run it without letting the loctite cure. Sometimes it's hard to wait.

That's why I try to do my builds at night... Forces me to morning at least...

If you’re not cleaning the threads of all the old Loctite with solvent before applying more, this is the cause of your recurring problem.

The more (screws) the better. I have a mix of pinions and half of them only have 1 screw with mix of grub sizes as well. Use what the pinion manufacturer provides I. e. use both if available. Might be a small balancing issue as well but doubt that it matters.

I have a few pinions that use two screws, I think its a good idea if you make sure the threads are clean and let the Loctite set before using
