  • R48:anaerobic retainer

    How important is it to use this and what is it?I bought a flasher 450 and there was a note that came with it saying to check all prebuilt parts and screws.Was going to just strip it down to kit form then rebuild it.
    In case I forget to thank anyone Thanks In advance

    Otherwise know as blue threadlock.

    Quite important - stops screws from vibrating loose.

        Blue for putting on bolt threads that you might need to undo sometime in the future (i.e. most of them). Only use on bolts that screw into metal, not into plastic.

        Green for a more permanent fix, and for bearings onto shafts or bearings into holders. Again, only use on metal-to-metal contact on the whole.

          Check the screws in the tail hub. On mine, I used red loctite as the bearings were being slightly pinched when fully tight. With the red loctite, I just nipped them up till there was no play. Never came undone in all the time I had it. Fantastic little model for the price.

                Am I stupid or what?
                Just finished checking all the screws according to the instructions(check all prebuilt parts and screws) and just realised that the whole frame is plastic and doesn't need thread lock
