OK so my OFNA Buggy is finally running awesome...and now my next challenge seems to be dog bone cups at the rear diff loosening up. Do you guys Loctite the locating studs on the cups to keep them in place? Not the easiest place to get Loctite in there...but I'm going nuts trying to keep them on there tight for a full tank on the race track. First time they loosened I thought I blew my center diff.....second time...I thought I smoked the clutch.

Any other tricks to keep these cups firmly in place besides loading em up as best I can with Loctite?
 
Not sure exactly how it goes together, but it sounds like a real good place for some Blue LocTite, just let it dry over night after you apply it so it can dry and do it's job.
 
The cup sits in the flat side of the pin coming out of the diff, and then a locating stud is tightened down between the cup and the diff stud. Yeah I'll just loctite the heck out of it and see if it holds. lol
