How to keep pinion from falling off? - RC-Monster Forums

ReV:-O · 03.02.2010, 03:07 PM

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm using a HPI Savage Flux pinion, as all the other pinions had the wrong shape teeth (including the RCM one) which made a very loud grinding sound (see my other thread).

Anyway, I'm using blue locktite which I believe is the removable one. I never thought of putting locktite on the shaft itself, i might have to try that.

I don't really wanna weld it on, because then it would be very hard to get off!

one other thing that you probably know already, but it can't hurt to reiterate: if you're using loctite, make sure you give it at least 24 hours to cure/fully dry. anything less than that, and you risk it having the same holding properties of milk.

Yep, and it probably helps to clean most of the old stuff off.
