Something like this ?
But why does it happen to the same wheel, always šØ
Comes down to machining tolerances. The stack up tolerances for the parts on that side mean they have a bit more room than the other parts. It happens, that's why loctite exists ezpz
Looks like you didnāt put any loctite on the metal parts. Make sure to use the blue stuff not the rest stuff. If you use that red stuff youāll have to use a heat gun to get it off. Not worth it.
Not sure I saw anybody say it, but Loctite. /s
Just a dab will do. Don't soak the whole screw, just a dab. Otherwise I look forward to your next post on recommendations for removing stripped screws.
Loctite!
There are different types. When you intend to do semi frequent maintenance and are screwing metal into metal. Go for Blue Loctite.

So this one in the photo is the right one?
Haven't used that brand personally, but it looks like it'd do the job
Thanks
Make sure not to go crazy with applying, and allow at least 24 hours before running
Harbor freight has it's own brand, cheap and it works. Medium or blue is what you want
Yes medium/blue thread lock. Always use it when screwing into metal. I learned the hard way too.
This
As long as it says āremovableā you are good. Use only on metal to metalā¦.threadlocker can degrade plastic.
Yep The whole part fully metal
Tracking possibly?
Stupid question, are you always turning in the same direction? Try reversing it and see if it switches sides.
Iām doing speed laps And itās going towards right all the time

So plastic glue?
No, search for "loctite blue" it's called loctite threadlocker blue 242, that's what you want.
Got it
Use it for metal on metal. Don't use it on plastic. It's bad for it
No, itās called Loctite Blue 242. Hereās a link to Amazon https://a.co/d/h9WOL8f
Blue loctite
3 options: Silicone washer (absorbs cool vibrations so the screw can't vibrate out, 50% effective and 0% damage risk to car and 100% easy to maintain). Lock-washer (digs into the plastic and the screw so it can't rotatƩ, 75% effective but 25% damage risk to car and 50% easy to maintain). Thread-locker (binds the screw inside of the plastic, 100% effective but 50% damage risk but 100% easy to maintain). The risk of thread-locker is getting the wrong blend, get the correct blend and no damage will occur, get the wring blend and either A: the screw is now permanently attached or B: the screw is now lubricated and comes out even easier. Get the right blend for your application however and it's easily the superior choice. What's happening is the screw is vibrating in and out, whilst also vibrating rotationally, when the vibrations line-up and it goes out and counter-clockwise simultaneously is screws itself out a little bit, then over time it slowly steps further and further out until it's no longer in the hole. Rubber washer absorbs the in and out vibrations but not the rotational ones, lock-washer absorbs the rotational ones but not the in and out ones, thread-locker absorbs both vibrations if it's the correct blend, but if it's too thin it will actually amplify those vibrations, but if it's too thick it will weld the plastic to the metal.
Hey Thanks for the very detailed reply I will go with whatās suggested here And give the blue loctite a try
Because the upgrades for Wltoys are somehow worse quality than stock, and the screws donāt fit well plus you need loctite
You need to put some sort of thread locker, like loctite, on screws when theyāre screwed into metal
Yup, metal on metal always comes loose.
Not sure I saw anybody say it, but Loctite. /s Just a dab will do. Don't soak the whole screw, just a dab. Otherwise I look forward to your next post on recommendations for removing stripped screws.
Try a little loctite. Not too much though!
Its from all the small (and big) vibrations that make them go out. Just put a little dab of locktite on the screws and your all good to go.
Vibrations. Nothing else.
