    Hi guys, can anyone tell me what locktite is best to use for all the chassis bolts? Red or blue... or none at all? Thanks!

    Loctite threadlocker blue is designed to easily be replaceable with common tools, whereas red is a more permanent fix

    That’s what I used for my build don’t think red is needed when everything is torqued down

    Loctite shouldn’t be needed if it’s been torque’d up properly unless manufacturers spec states so.

    I’d say something like 222 which is a light strength or ‘blue’ loctite
