Red loctite on the grub screw is a PITA, I did that once and had to grind the gear off my motor's shaft because it would not come off no matter what I did to it.

I tried cleaning the top shaft and gear on my Rustler and loctiting it on and it held for about 1 pull of the throttle. It'll probably work better on a pinion because it's still a cleaner surface but on tranny gears it fails.

It's really not bad -- if you know the trick to remove the pinion. We use a small torch to heat the pinion, and the loctite just melts. Then the pinion is easy to pull off. A heat gun also works, but takes a little longer (sometimes we use a hot air soldering station with a 12mm tip -- that seems to work very well.) You have to be careful to keep tension on the pinion so that it slides off when the loctite melts -- if you char the loctite it will be harder to remove.
