After todays run an having a bad landing ,my engine came loose ,but I never gotten around to
loc-tite anything when I bought the truck an I still have to do more an check the diffs for fluids
as I dont trust the manufactures on RTR's ,my Baja was dry an I ran it for quite a few years that
way ,I was surprised there was no damage an I am still running the same gears!.. :cool:

 
I recently tried removing the 4 x 6mm baja chassis hex screws and the key was twisting badly so i got a gas lighter like this and heated the screws for 3 mins and it soften the Loctite and the screws came loose with a loud crack, the screws had to be heated to come loose
If using Loctite on the engine or chassis screws just use the smallest amount.
