Outcast 6s EXB, E clip problem

[Savantv13]

I'm constantly loosking E-Clip - 3.2mm (#ARA710006) durring rides. It's jumping out of it's designated place what's causing another problems like broken gearings on my motor. Do you have any interesting solution for that problem? Or should I buy 50 pack of them?

I used aircraft safety wire once you spin the loop closed its not coming off. it might be a 30$ start but well worth it in the end. get correct size then safety wire pliers amazon is the place...I got 6 different sets of pliers you dont need the 100$ set.

You need good e-clips. The cheap ones are really not springy at all (chinesium steel). Make sure if you buy them they are made in USA.

Nice little hack. I used to have a safety wire set when I machined. We had to drill holes in bolts and secure them to each other on covers on these aerospace test rigs we made.

I've been thinking about that. I'll give it a try. Sometimes simplest resolves are the best.

if the military uses it, it works.

Lol, I made a lot of crazy stuff for them too. Like one time... while making some perfectly faked RPG's of a foreign design, with a certain agency's oversight... well... better not lol. Man, I really miss machining cool stuff.
