Do not, they will be a pain to get out after, but you could use them on the grub screws for the center shafts.

HnC.... So you use loctite on basicly every screw on the g2r chassis(apart from metal-to-plastic? Explain why?

ya you dont want to use the red locktight lol HNC thats going to take lots of patience and time to get those screws out after. i used locktight(blue) on my engine head and seams to hold nicely and shouldn't be a pian after to take of the head.

I don't have a g2r but do have the gmaxx. I like to use the blue loctite on the screws. They will back out and lose them on a good run. You don't have to kill the screws when using the loctite either.

I have put screws in with out the loctite and was not able to get them out. I killed them with the torque. I learned not to tighten as tight and put a little blue loctite works alot better.

I use the blue locktite as well. I think it will also prevent galling and seizing as well
People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise |

I have always practiced the metal to metal loctite. I have missed some when i did my first emaxx - wasnt too long to find the ones i didnt locktite - either they were gone - or sticking out and bent from scraping ( chassis )
