[nicholas655]

ok so i bought some joe's and apparently they could do harm to certain parts??
i am still new at this so i didnt know this could effect anything, anywho , i want to know if they is a way to strenghtin certain thing s to be able to use them still

Who told you they could do harm to anything? I've run Joe's on my Savage and Revo and never had a lick of problems as far them damaging anything.

 

[nicholas655]

well it was more of them saying that it would put alot of stress on the bearings and arms . and i thought that it could damage it easier. I'm glad to hear its good to run
would i have to tune differently and what abou tthe nuts , it came off after 5 mins , loctite maybe ?

You shouldn't have to tune it differently. As for the nuts, you can try using Teflon tape (used in plumbing) to help keep them on. If you don't have a 23mm socket or tire wrench, I suggest getting one and just cranking them down.

 

[nicholas655]

ya i got the socket already so i just need to get the tape you are talking about
by the way it was the little bolt that came off not the 23mmm one , the one that was originally on it

stock hex is 14mm

Yes, but Big Joe's are 40 series that require 23mm hexes.

As for the little nut, my advice is get yourself some new ones. They're cheap and the fact that they are backing out means they've become worn out.

alright , good to know , i guess i will pick some up when i go back to the lhs.
alright on an another note , do you know where i could get a prepainted body for the revo . like a pickup or something in tha nature. all the ones i see are not painted or cut ,
