Default RC10GT RTR PLUS Problem

Hey Gang!
This is a warning to all new RC10GT plus RTR folks out there -- WATCH YOUR SCREWS CAREFULLY. Lock tite things that appear to get loose. I lost one of the screws that hold the muffler on and now the entire car is covered in oil! The engine got louder and I thought it was just getting warmed up. But when I looked at it after I ran it, I noticed that the thing was missing a screw! Anyways. Other than that I have run about 10 tanks and the truck is great!

Anytime you get a rtr truck its always a good idea to check all the screws, linkage, etc. and make sure everything is good to roll. It will save you a little hassle in the future.

Yes....loctite is one of the staples.....so to speak....being used on RC cars/trucks for the "loose screw syndrome" as you pointed out. I wonder if the RC industry and the glue industry are in business together somehow?

I'm sure they are....it seems like every screw is made to vibrate right out of place...haha oh well, while were on the subject my dad made a comment to my cousin who owns a hobby shop in NY that he should just give the cars away cus once you get a car you start spending the real money.
