Must of vibrated loose. Everything's intact except the bolt that holds the arm to the servo. Any special bolt I need? Anyone know the size or reccomend anything to make sure it keeps intact? It was the first run out. Had some fun.... :)

Thank you sir. Do i assume it has a flanged head to rest on the arm indentation also?

2 stroke motors vibrate every single screw on your truck.

A bit of red loctite on the screws will make ur life easier. Although unscrewing them may be a bit hard later on, but if you apply wd-40 or any other unscrewing fluid, with a bit of force you can unscrew it.

Either this or some people tend to use a lighter, fire makes the dry loctite to lose its characteristics. Some even use hair dryer.

In most extreme cases, If you want a screw to be eternally permanent, apply Alteco (super fast ultra strong adhesive) gg

Blue loctite, not red. You won;t be able to get the red out of there. I've never heard of using wd-40 to remove loctite.
I do it all the time :) :)

Everybody uses wd40 to remove red loctite

post a quick pic of the side of that steering servo so I can see which kinda bolt head is supposed to go in the arm?
