Default loctite 243?

Anyone know if Loctite 243 (red) is appropriate for fixings on an RC car or too strong. Normally use it on brake disks bobbins on a real car, so wanted to check.

Thanks,

Dan

I only ever use blue, as do most others i see, not sure red will be appropriate if it holds too strongly.

Don't use red unless you don't want to undo the screw again.

I think it'll be too strong. You'll stand a good chance of rounding screws and bolt heads trying to get it undone. Better with the blue one (242?)

yep you definately won't want to use red on any screws you want to get out again, it sets like concrete! Blue is Better
