Default X-Factor axle shaft grub screws

Anyone know of a better solution to keep these things from spinning out? I've used loc-tite several times, and after a couple of runs have noticed that they've backed out again. It's starting to get annoying; having to take apart the front and rear axles after two-three runs is a pain. Are there one-piece axle shafts available that don't use a separate screwed collar to attach to the differential output shafts?

are you using red or blue loctite? red loctite is pretty permanent... you have to heat the srew/bolt in order to get it out.

other than that issue, what do you think of the crawler?
