|  How to stop driveshafts falling apart?
Hi, I have a massively overpowered wheely king, I have installed some aftermarket alloy driveshafts, but they keep falling apart. All the screws keep loosening themselves, and the shafts or rods or whatever they are that hold the 2 peices of the shaft together keep falling out. Can i super glue all the bits it? What is the best way to secure them? Also is grease a no-no on the drive shaft joints? Thanks |

Well I had these awesome indestructable HPI steel ones but they were for the short wheel base one. Ive now extended the wheel base, and the best i can find are these alloy ones (i think they might be made by hot racing, not sure), but yeah they just blow themselves to bits, the screw and pins just fall out. I dont think locktite will work, needs to be something stronger. |

are you using any loctite? blue is typically more than strong enough for driveshafts

You can use red but you might need heat if you ever need to remove them. My soldering station works great for this. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 |

You can also use heat shrink over the pins to stop them from dropping out.
