|  Front axle C's screws keep coming loose
I took apart my front axle when the rig was new to install the locker and lately the screws that hold the "C" onto the ends of the axle keep coming loose.. I'm not sure if threadlock would work or if it's harmful to plastic.. It's kind of important to be able to take it apart in the future for replacing broken/worn parts ect.. Other than that my crawler is doing great and I haven't broken anything yet!  |

Just put a small drop of CA glue on the end of the screw, then screw it in, and tighten it. This will make new treads and completely repair the hole. I have been doing this for years, and have never had to replace a plastic part due to a stipped screw hole. Works wonders  |

But, can you get the screw out after the glue is dry? I mean, doesn't it stick to the screw?

CA stands for Cyanoacrylate, ZAP-A-GAP, super glue any type like that will work, fast cure time ans works well with plastics.
