Blue threadlock
I still have about half of bottle left but I noticed that it doesn't work very well now, seem like no matter how clean is my screws is when I applyed on my engine mount screws is always got loose it up after about three to four tanks then I end up stripped my spur gear, is it true that blue threadlock can't stay long after the first used??

RE: Blue threadlock
Get the paste type of blue loctite. Its much easier to handle. You must have alot of stuff modified on your Tmaxx? It is a Tmaxx? Alot of metal or alum. can sometimes cause more vibration to transmit and start knocking screws loose. Usually traxxas does a better job than some of the other companys when it comes to keeping their screws from coming loose. If you cant fix the problem, get the red locitite and only use it were you have to and be very careful its hard to get the screws back out without breaking them.

Sometimes the liquid can separate when sitting on a shelf for long periods (months). You can try removing the cap and stirring and then shake the bottle after closing it again. It may help a bit.
