XRAY - Model racing cars

Hi just brought the TQ and I am V Impressed . Been a Mugen Driver for a very long time and fancied a change . I will be racing the two day meet this weekend in the UK with it at Sandy. The build was second to none and I love the little finishing touches that makes this car vertually mod free. But I have one question.

The ALU Steering Block , is it worth the upgrade , I know that a few of the top drivers over here run them , but when looking at them, they wont have the bind of composite so how do you stop the screw coming out via vibration etc? I thought about a washer between the CHub Insert and the block but not sure on the wear with this .... Any advise welcome

Blue loctite should keep it tight but you might want to check it from time to time. Last buggy I had with aluminum steering blocks the screw would loosen up until I put threadlock on it and that kept it from backing out.

Will try that , thanks . Any ideas how to remove the stuff if it goes on the Drive shaft assembly You can guess what I've done I am hoping it will loosen up when I run it

You must have poured it on? It only takes a couple of small drops on the thread of the screw. It hardens into a rubbery substance so if it got anywhere it was not supposed to it easy pretty easy to pick or peel it off.

For next time, pick up the loc-tite that comes in the tube and is more of a paste; does away with the liquid running on you and seems to hold better.

Never had good luck with the paste for some reason. Always used the LOCTITE liquid stuff.

The Permatex threadlocker doesent work as good as the actual LOCTITE stuff. IMO

Thanks guys , yea I got a bit over zelous and squeezed a bit hard I will try the paste ...

Will vinigar or white spirite desolve the offending blue gunk
