Do you use threadlock each time you put screw back in?

Sometimes if the screw seems to still have a little resistance when threading in, I don't put new threadlock...should I?

I usually clean it with alcohol pad and reapply

I only thread lock the motor and pinion grub. Then I'll occasionally re apply it to the motor mount.

If there’s still a decent amount on the screw you shouldn’t need more. Do t want to overdue it.

Thread lock is not required on screws that go into plastic. When it come to everything else it all depends. Anything the goes through the chassis into metal, anything on the motor, and servo horn, yes I lock tight right off the bat. As for everything else I don’t right away. Some times that blows up in my face and I regret it and end up locktighting, steering, shock towers, and so on. But most times it’s not a problem. It makes it nicer to work in the truck when everything isn’t locked down so tight. Hope that helps. Cheers

No and sometimes I forget I do. Ever hit the brakes and and truck says, "I override that last command!"

I loctite metal to metal everytime i take apart and put back. After cleaning with alcohol also

Never thought about using rubbing alcohol to clean. I hit it with a lighter and rag after it starts smoking. Lol. Good to know.
