To any newbie!!!

THREAD LOCK
loc rite, thread lock, whatever you call it.....use it!
I can not express how important this is. Don't just have one bottle, have several! One on your work bench, your rc bag....heck, one in your glovebox! It's that important. Getting a routine of using it will save money and SO many headaches!

So true indeed.

Very much so. When I first started, I was losing screws left and right until I locked them.

If I could only count how many times the the half a second of time it takes to drip a drip on threads would have saved me!! You shouldn't be able to buy anything rc unless you have thread lock in your pocket! Like an ID for beer!

I put my thread lock closer to the head of the screw/bolt, just so the lock-tite doesn't harden and freeze the screw/bolt into place.

Always use the blue when any screw is to be removed,

I used to use blue, but I switched to red and stopped using as much per bolt.

The ones in the center were not a problem?

The ones in the center were not a problem?

I lost a shoulder screw out of the front shock tower last night in the lily field, and it occurred to me that I never used any lock tite on that one when I put it back together.

Using Red Loctite is almost as bad as using CA glue on your bolts with these small screws.
