Default motor bolts keep falling out volcano s30

All 4 motor mount bolts come loose very quickly every run, the first time I wasn't expecting it and they all fell out. I have tried blue loctite which makes them last towards then end of 1 tank but they still come loose. Anybody else have this problem or a solution?

I'm thinking of using red loctite but am hesitant.

Make sure everything is clean when u put the loctite on and then let it sit over night.
That might be y ur stripping gears too.

I was trying that but not sure how clean I was getting them so i have just been putting in new screws and letting them sit at least 12 but normally more hours. This was with the results previously mentioned. I think I'm going to try the red loctite.

Ooh on I got cha.
Red loctite is a lot harder to undo but can be done with heat. I just hope u don't strip them out.

Red loctite hasn't let the bolts come loose in 2 tanks! Just not looking forward to ever getting them out.

Been using loctite the whole time. Main question that came up was red vs blue loctite because the blue wasn't working, it's all in the previous posts.
