Advice of Thread Lock for Fastening prop adapters and motor mounts to motors - help

[daskim]

What is the "best practices" for using blue thread lock or loctite on the screws when fastening the prop adapter to the motor and also when fastening the motor mount to motor.

I read that some prefer it, while others use a nut driver and tighten them that way.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Definitely use it on the hub to motor screws. But I think a nylock is way better than using loctite on your prop nut.

Loctite on the hub and motor mount but for the prop nut don't use loctite as it can weaken the pastic in the prop hub, use a nylon locknut.

Thanks guys. No loctite for the three screws attaching prop adapter to motor - use nylon locknut.

But use loctite blue to attach motor mount to the motor. Thanks

And I would suggest not using 242 Blue. At some point you may want to get them out and blue is sometimes to strong for small threads. Try using 222 Purple.
