these? u mean the centripetal force was enough to unscrew from the thread? :flushed:

#1381

The early versions offered by esk8supply were the ones that unscrewed. My first gen eLofty has screws, and the later ones do as well.

the entire red circled area will unscrew itself. the red arrow is where they will separate.

the wheel wont actually fall off it will just cause an insane amount of rolling resistance.

I believe that’s the locktite I used.

You should go for these (carefull with the green one if you want to remove anything after this, it will be glued for life :stuck_out_tongue: )

admittedly I was still a noob when I had the issue with the drives unscrewing and I didnt know the right type of loctite to use. Maybe Ill mess around with it at some point in the future. when I have nothing better to do. and when I dont have to worry about falling off my board due to the wheel unscrewing itself.

whats annoying is i cant even just apply locktite and screw it down by hand. the can fits tightly enough that I actually had the spin the motor in reverse and it would slowly screw itself down.
