use Red loctite? might never get em out again though? lol

try CA glue "thumbsup"

 

[colin1986]

ok thanks might give it a try it must be a design fault with scx10's

not sure about red loctite as if they need to be changed it would be a bugger to get off. i was thinking putting another grub screw in the other hole as there are 2 but then i need to find some grub screws.

dab of CA to each set screw should do the trick

Definitely is not a design flaw. Either you didn't use enough Loctite or they or the yoke you installing them are stripped.

I bought some longer grub screws, i think 3mm. I use blue lock tight and let it dry over night. It has never loosend up yet. Im running a ballistic 8.5t with 14mm rotor!

cheers for that now i know "thumbsup"

where can you get grub screws from and what is the size im looking for

 

[Cableman]

I got the grubs from my LHS. I think they were 3mm x 4 or 5mm long. Just take one with ya and make sure it fills the whole theads on the yoke.

Just for some extra so you dont lose it when it comes lose you could put shrink wrap around it

I had the same problem with mine. So I just put a dab of hot glue on it. It takes a while for the glue to come off, and if you need to take off the drive shaft , just use rubbing alcohol to release the glue. Hope this helps.
