Help losing nuts and bolts
I recently got into RC cars and ended up getting a rustler vxl but almost every ride I lose some nuts or bolts. Is anyone else experiencing this? What is the solution loc-tite?
I just came back from the park where I lost a 3mm tierod bolt. This is after losing a wheel bolt 3 days ago and breaking the caster block yesterday. Maybe I'm pushing it too hard?

Make sure they are tightened down at the beginning of the run, loctite might work just be sure to use the temporary type not the permanent type.

Just be sure to tighten everything before each run, I used to have my wheel fall off everytime I do a "drifting" themed run w/ my bandit vxl, and then having to replace the stubs, nuts, and teflon washers, but now I tighten everything before I turn on the car, haven't lost a thing since

RE: Help losing nuts and bolts
The first day I used m STampede vxl, I was driving it and the tires just fell off and rolled down the street so I lost some parts for it(nut and axle pin). Called Traxxas and they just sent me more for free! I don't have a lhs, I bought my mt online, so I called. Got parts in and the next run another tire fell off. That got mad annoying so now I'm tightening my nuts for the tires during runs.
