I share that feeling... since the cost to print that warning could have gone into loctite... and they wouldn't even have to print it... and their customers could enjoy their trucks without having to fix their errors... *shrug* as Wasinger12 said, "Live and Learn!!!!"

It's systemic of the RTR mentality in R/C that they had to start including that warning.

You should always check your set screws in a all metal CVD drive train, head bolts, wheelnuts, engine mount screws, clutchbell nuts etc.......RC101.

Status: offline 		Now they must be getting better by listening to our complaints. Losi that is. I sit with my truck for an hour or so and tear it down, clean it, and loctite everything back up. I do this usually when it breaks. To bad its alway clean.

Status: offline 		I'm not going to argue the point and get another thread locked (no pun intended)... but the point of these threads are to share our opinions and thoughts... it would make more sense to me to spend the extra money they used to print their mistakes... to just fix them. That would be good quality control ... and a step above the rest, which is what Team Losi is touted to be. Many of us have learned the hard way... and it's very disappointing that such a small oversight on both parties (Team Losi did not fix it... the user did not read, or chose to not do it) could wreak so much havoc... which could have been easily fixed before the problem ever started... *shrug* I guess Team Losi is just like the rest of the companies... out to make a buck... *shrug* Oh well, I'll never let my LST2 go without checking the grub screws and wheel nuts... and important metal-to-metal screws... I have a brand new tube of loctite... and I'm not afraid to use it.

Status: offline 		my wheels fall off all the time, sometimes it's kinda funny, i just got threadlock tuesday and put it on the hex nuts, i also put it everywhere else, i'm just 14 and my dad didn't get me started in this hobby(i earned all the money for my truck), so i still don't have a temp gun which i kinda should have, that's also why i just got threadlock tuesday.
