yup.. for a while I hadn't noticed a screw on my header had vibrated out of its place and everytime I raced it fuel was being shot from the opening in the header and my whole chassis had nitro all over it, attracting tons of dirt and grass.. Word of advice.. buy some light locktite and glue all the screws that could vibrate out of place.

yea use blue threadlock, but only on screws that go into metal, if used on screws that go into plastic it will corrode the plastic, even melting it...threadlock=metal on metal!!!
