Default suspension articulation

Hello all,
newbie here.
I recently got into this great type of RC. I found an Axial AX10 on Ebay Ready To Rock with some decent mods, from a guy i think was competing with this rig. I am very happy with the overall rig, price, and everything to do with the crawler.
My question is... when the suspension extends through its full travel while crawling, the drive shafts have both, at different times, come apart where the u-joint conects to the pinion. Since I've reinstalled and tightened, they have not since come loose again.
is this just a common always check area?


Thanks,
Mike

I use a drop of blue Loctite on front and rear grub screws. Never had them come apart since. Welcome to the hobby

Blue loctite any metal to metal screws. You will thank yourself 10fold when your in the woods bashing away and nothing comes loose
