I come from an R/C Helicopter background, and I started back when there were a lot of plastic fantastic machines - the plastic was a lot like the stuff used in the TRX-4 I just bought.
It was pretty common back then was to use CA to threadlock bolts into plastic, since the last thing you wanted was a bolt backing out mid-flight. (A wise man said a helicopter is a few thousand parts trying desperately to get away from each other.)
There's even Loctite 425, which is a low strength threadloc for metal bolts into plastic, and (no surprise) it's a cyanoacrylate.
Is using CA to threadlock into plastic a common thing in RC crawlers (or surface vehicles in general?)
