Revo motor mount stripped thread... again - 03.17.2008, 01:12 AM

Well, maybe I just have bad luck, but this is the second time the thread in the bottom plate has gotten stripped. The first time, I emailed Mike and he replaced it at no cost.

I used blue locktite on all three screws, but the last time I drove it which was this afternoon, the front plate (what the motor is screwed to) got loose. So I went to tighten it, and the screws just keeps on turning. I haven't tried taking the screws out yet, so it is a possibility that the screws are stripped and not the mount, but I will check for sure tomorrow. Is anyone else experiencing or have experienced this? I also wasn't driving hard at all, just some quick bursts of power and wheelies in the yard. No jumps what-so-ever.

I was also wondering if there is some sort of paste available that I can put in the 2 out of the 3 holes that are stripped. I then screw the screws back in, and the paste will harden. Is there something like this available?

Thanks for any help in advance.

- Josh
